Chicago Blackhawks at Washington Capitals Preview & Picks

Washington are tipped to avenge their December defeat to the Blackhawks.

The Capitals are on the home ice for this one, and should have too much for a Chicago team that is in terrible form and has been piling up losses on the road this season.

  • Washington Capitals are 6-1 in their last 7 home games
  • Chicago Blackhawks are 1-11 in their previous 12 games
  • Chicago Blackhawks are 1-11 in their last 12 road games
  • The Under has cashed in the previous 2 meetings

Head To Head

  • Washington Capitals lead the all-time series 49-44-14
  • Chicago Blackhawks won 3-2 when the two teams last met on December 17

Chicago Blackhawks Form

Chicago head to the capital in miserable form, having now lost 11 of their last 12 games and each of the last four.

The Blackhawks began March with a brief flurry that saw them win three times in four games, but their form soon nose-dived.

A 3-2 overtime defeat in Nashville proved to be the start of a seven-game losing skid that was finally ended by a 7-4 victory over Philadelphia on March 26.

Chicago failed to build on that win though, as they went on to lose their next four games at home.

The Blackhawks suffered back-to-back 5-3 defeats to New Jersey and Vegas, before losing 5-2 to Utah and 3-2 to Colorado.

Washington Capitals Form

Washington enter this matchup on a poor run of form, following their fourth defeat in their previous five games.

The Capitals enjoyed a good run for much of March as they put together five-game and four-game win streaks.

However, since the 3-2 overtime defeat in Winnipeg they have been unable to get back on track.

Washington lost 4-2 at Minnesota and 8-5 at home to Buffalo, before ending that losing skid with a 4-3 success in Boston.

The Capitals failed to back up that victory though, as they suffered a 5-1 defeat in Carolina on Wednesday night.

Verdict

Washington's recent overall form has been poor, but we still like their chances in this one.

They are in solid form at home and have won four of the last five meetings with the Blackhawks, who are merely playing out the schedule at this point.
