The NHL regular season has resumed after the break, so we are waiting for a lot of interesting games, among them a meeting between Dallas and Washington. The meeting of these teams at the American Airlines Center will take place on January 29 at 05:00 Moscow time. Our portal offers you its forecast for the outcome of this meeting.
Dallas Stars
In the opening rounds, the "stars" did not look the best, they often fail in defense and have problems with implementation. Recently, Dallas has given out a series of defeats, showing a weak game in attack. There are also minor problems in defense, which was faced with the loss of a striking attacking link due to illness. A successful series turned out for Dallas in recent matches, and in the last meeting it was possible to defeat New Jersey on the road with a score of 1:5.
Washington Capitals
Washington is doing pretty well this season, showing bright attacking hockey in every game. Ovechkin has gained excellent form, and Kuznetsov is helping his captain by showing excellent statistics. Now the team is suffering from injuries and illnesses of key players, so it alternates wins and losses, and in the last match the capitals lost at home to San Jose with a score of 1:4.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Dallas - Raffle (upper body injury), Fax (illness).
Washington - Manta (lower body injury), Oshi (lower body injury), Jensen (illness).
Statistics and figures
- In the last match between these teams, Washington won 1-4.
- Washington has won just twice in its last five meetings.
- A good series of four wins in a row gives "Dallas".
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game, because both teams have strong and stellar lineups. Dallas usually looks good on its court, showing attacking hockey, but the capitals are in bad shape now and rarely win. I think we are waiting for a bright attacking hockey with a lot of goals.
