Washington Capitals vs Calgary Flames Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
Next Tuesday, January 28th will bring a very interesting challenge for Washington Capitals, as they’ll play a very tough Inter-Conference game against Calgary Flames. In this matter, it must be noted that the Flames aren’t the best team in the Western Conference, but it’s a fact that their playstyle sometimes becomes very difficult to manage for some of the top teams in the league.
Also, it must be noted that for Calgary this will be a must-win game, not only because they lost a streak of 3 victories in a row against Winnipeg Jets last Sunday, but also because their gap against the ninth spot of the Western Conference is only 1 point. With that in mind, if they don’t gain any points in this game, they’ll be on a high risk of losing their virtual qualification for the playoffs.
On Washington Capitals’ case, they still are dominating the Eastern Conference, but their most recent loss against Vancouver Canucks cannot be ignored (2-1), as it could give be a good first advice of the parameters that they’ll find during the playoffs. Additionally, the fact of facing their fourth consecutive away game could definitely have an impact on their performance.
