Analysis and forecast for the NHL match Washington Capitals – Dallas Stars (10/18/2024)
The 108th NHL season is gaining momentum. On October 18 there will be many interesting meetings. Among others, the game in which Washington and Dallas will face each other on the ice of the Capital One Arena stands out. The first confrontation is scheduled for 2:00 Moscow time.
After losing in the match with New Jersey (3-5), Washington redeemed itself by defeating Vegas (4-2). Alexander Ovechkin impressed again with his performance and scored two points. In particular, he made a great pass that Alexey Protas turned into an abandoned puck.
An interesting match awaits us:

Ovechkin did a great job in a short time. He worked the puck for convenience, saw the Belarusian forward’s opening well and placed him in a killer position with an accurate pass. The capital captain achieved a surprising achievement. He became the third player in NHL history to have 700+ assists and 800+ goals.
The only bad thing is that the captain of the capital has not yet scored a goal in the new season. The great chase for Wayne Gretzky’s record has stalled. In the match with New Jersey, the Russian did not take a single shot on goal.
Perhaps a victory in a meeting with a strong opponent will energize the Capitals, and they will show an even better game in the match against Dallas. However, stability is not about Spencer Carbery’s charges. This is clear from both the composition of the squad and the team’s results last season.
The Stars are far superior to Washington in terms of consistency. Over the past few years, they have consistently been on top and caused big problems for their Stanley Cup opponents. This is a well-formed team, in which the speed and technique of young hockey players combine perfectly with the experience and skill of veterans.
Evgeny Dadonov maintains balance and helps young hockey players in their development. Ilya Lyubushkin also immediately became an important player for the club, joining the Dallas team in the off-season. Thanks in part to the efforts of the Russians, the Stars are at the top of the Central Division table.
Peter DeBoer’s team defeated Nashville (4-3), Islanders (3-0), Seattle (2-0) and San Jose (3-2 B). What stands out is how little Dallas concedes. Only five goals in four games is an excellent indicator. The Stars have one of the strongest and most reliable defenses in the league.
Prediction for the game of the day in the KHL:
SKA-CSKA. Vorobyov or Fedorov? Rotenberg doesn’t care
It will be very difficult for Alexander Ovechkin to score against Dallas, if not impossible. The general situation does not favor the “capitalists”. They have not won any of their last five head-to-head meetings, although three of them were in Washington.
You can bet on Dallas’ victory in regulation time at bookmakers with odds of 2.15. It is hard to believe that Carbery’s men have achieved their second consecutive victory. This is the third difficult game in a row for them. The workload is very heavy, particularly for Ovechkin.
In some places, Alexander pleases. Three assists in the first two games of the season show that the forward is trying for the Club and is not simply running madly after Wayne Gretzky’s record. Ovechkin is invested in the team’s success and this certainly inspires his teammates.
There are already more requirements for the Capitals to have a good season. However, in order to consistently beat the favorites, it is necessary to improve. Improving team depth and overall quality of play is required. “Dallas” is much stronger than the “metropolitans” in these aspects.
Predictions and bets for the NHL match “Washington” – “Dallas” on October 18, 2024
Washington was a pleasant surprise in the meeting with Las Vegas, but now their opponents are an even more coherent and dangerous team. “Dallas” is very competently crafted. It has great balance in everything. The stars have found the perfect balance and consistently achieve good results. Even at home, it’s unlikely the Capitals will be able to break their winning streak.
Tender: Dallas wins in 2.15.
