Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on November 16. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Avalanche have picked up a great form. In the last three meetings, they managed to earn maximum points, first beating Carolina 6:4, then Nashville (3:2 in OT), and lastly Los Angeles (4:2). Thus, the Avalanche continue to fight for a place in the playoff zone. At the moment, they can settle for ninth place in the standings with 18 points.

Washington, in turn, approaches the fight not in the best conditions. In the last five-game stretch, the Capitals have recorded only two wins - 3:2 over Nashville and 8:1 over St. Louis. In the remaining three, they suffered defeats, one of them outside of regulation time and two clean ones, with a total score of 7:12. As for the Capitals' position in the East table, they are fifth with 21 points.

In this pair, we suggest not to get into the outcomes, but to bet on performance. In head-to-head meetings, the teams often shoot the standard total over. In addition, the Avalanche are now playing open hockey, as evidenced by the first position in the West in TB (5.5) - 13 out of 17. Washington has a slightly more modest indicator - in 11 of 15. In general, based on the above, we suggest betting on goals at a good rate.
