NHL action continues on Monday evening, as the Edmonton Oilers travel to the U.S. capital to take on the Washington Capitals. Both sides come into this game on losing streaks, but something will need to give at the Capital One Arena.

Before Betting On Oilers vs Capitals

There will be an important game in the NHL for both the Edmonton Oilers and Washington Capitals on Monday evening, as both teams look to get back to winning ways. The Capitals look to have the most desperate need for a victory on Monday, as they will have home advantage as they look to end a four game losing streak.

Washington sits third-bottom in the Metropolitan Division coming into this fixture, as they have recorded just five wins from 13 games this season. They are among the lowest scorers in the Eastern Conference, as they have found the net on just 35 occasions. Their latest game in the NHL saw them lose 3-2 against the Arizona Coyotes, but confidence could have been built despite that defeat.

Things haven’t gone much better for the Oilers over the early month of the season, as they have lost five of the 12 games that they have played. They also come into this fixture after having suffered defeats in their previous two games in the NHL. 

Their latest defeat was suffered against the Dallas Stars, as they went down to a 6-2 loss. However, they should feel confident coming into this fixture, as they have won their previous three games against the Capitals. That includes a 4-3 win in the most recent fixture in March.

This is a game that could go either way. However, the Oilers have a strong recent record against the Capitals, and that could be a trend worth following this week.
