The NHL action continues on Tuesday evening, as the United Center will play host to the Chicago Blackhawks and Washington Capitals. The away side come into this fixture in excellent recent form, and they will be looking to record a fifth straight win.

Before Betting On Capitals vs Blackhawks

This looks set to be an entertaining fixture at the United Center on Tuesday. The Washington Capitals will come into the game in very solid form, as they have won their previous four. Only the Pittsburgh Penguins are currently on a longer winning run than the Caps in the Eastern Conference, while Washington has won seven of their previous ten. During that period, they have lost just twice in regulation time.

They were able to maintain that excellent run of form in their previous fixture, as they picked up a solid 5-2 win on the road against the Winnipeg Jets. The Capitals scored four goals in the second period of that game, with five different scorers finding the net in the success. Lars Eller, Marcus Johansson, and Alexander Ovechkin were among the scorers in that dominant showing by the Caps.

It’s fair to say that the Chicago Blackhawks don’t come into this fixture in the same run of form, as they have picked up just a single victory in their previous ten games. Furthermore, they have lost eight times in regulation during that period, and have suffered a further defeat in overtime. Chicago comes into this fixture after suffering three straight defeats in the NHL.

The Blackhawks were beaten in their most recent fixture over the weekend, as they lost 3-1 against the Winnipeg Jets. Chicago only scored in the second period in reply, meaning that they will need to show more attacking threat in this home fixture on Tuesday evening.
