The capital recently lost at home to Dallas (4-5 B). The result clearly disappointed them. Twice during the match the Capitals hockey players took the lead, but allowed their opponent to recover. Kuznetsov scored the puck and Ovechkin provided the assist that helped him reach the 1,500 NHL point mark. To achieve this, the Russian needed 1,370 games, in which he scored 827 goals and gave 673 assists.
However, the captain of the capital was dissatisfied with his performance in the match with Dallas, since for the eighth consecutive game he failed to score a goal in the current NHL season. This happened for the fifth time in the Russian’s career. Additionally, Alexander did not participate in the post-match penalty shootout.
Meanwhile, the Capitals have won two in their last five games. The team beat Los Angeles (2-1) and Anaheim (5-4), and lost to Vegas (1-4), Arizona (0-6) and Dallas (4-5 B). Three of these matches ended with a total of more than 5.5 goals.
Washington scored 27 points this season and is in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings. The teams are in a very tight group: the distance between fifth and tenth place is only three points.

The Rangers have been inconsistent in their last five games. They defeated Detroit (3-2), Nashville (4-3) and San Jose (6-5), and lost to Buffalo (1-5) and Ottawa (2-6). It is worth highlighting the high performance: four of these matches ended with a total of more than 5.5 goals.
Artemiy Panarin played 24 games for the Blueshirts this season. The 32-year-old forward scored 16 goals and provided 21 assists. The Russian is third on the NHL’s top scorer list this season, seven points behind Nikita Kucherov.
The Rangers forward had a great game against San José. Artemy scored a hat-trick and had an assist. His linemate Vincent Trocheck trusts Panarin to be a world-class hockey player, and in the Sharks game she took his game to another level.
The Rangers sit in first place in the Eastern Conference standings with 37 points from 24 games. During this time, the Blueshirts suffered only six defeats, only conceding 66 goals and scoring 82.
The Blueshirts are a difficult and strong opponent that not only knows how to attack, but also defend reliably. Of 14 away games this season, they won 10. Let’s bet that the Rangers will not lose and the total exceeds 5.5 goals, with an odds of 2.28.
Predictions and bets for the NHL match “Washington” – “Rangers” on December 10, 2023
The crisis in Washington is clearly systemic in nature, leading to internal conflicts. For example, Evgeny Kuznetsov missed a match due to the decision of coach Spencer Carbury. In the meeting with Dallas, the capital took the lead twice, but did not maintain the advantage, as the defense made serious mistakes. In a match against the Eastern Conference leader, a loss of concentration could cost the capital dearly. Artemi Panarin is in excellent shape and is quite capable of finding the weak link in the Caps defense. Let’s bet that the Rangers will not lose and the total will be more than 5.5 goals, with an odds of 2.28.
Tender: The Rangers will not lose and the total exceeds 5.5 goals in 2.28.
