Analysis and forecast for the match “Columbus” – “Washington” (12/22/2023)
On December 22 we will have 12 NHL regular season games. In one of them, Columbus will host Washington at Nationwide Arena. The meeting will begin at 3:00 Moscow time.
Bivol will not allow underestimation:

The Blue Jackets find themselves in a difficult situation, sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings. The team has only 27 points and is nine points behind the playoff zone. The Uniforms won only 11 of 33 games, scoring 105 goals and conceding 121. The Club suffered 17 defeats in regulation time.
Columbus has won 4 of its last 10 games. They beat Ottawa (4-2), St. Louis (5-2), Toronto (6-5 overtime) and in the last game they beat Buffalo 9-4. The Blue Jackets lost in games against Montreal (2-4), Boston (1-3), Los Angeles (3-4 overtime), Islanders (3-7), Florida “(2-5) and “New Jersey” (3:6).
The “uniforms” have an almost Russian link: the second. In it Provorov, Marchenko, Voronkov and Chinakhov play together. In the last game against Buffalo they played a key role (9-4). Kirill scored a hat-trick in that match and Egor and Ivan each had two assists. Marchenko scored one of his goals under his feet. He admitted that he trained this move for three weeks.
Kirill also talked about playing in the same offensive trio with his compatriots. He said that when he doesn’t score or makes a mistake, he always relies on the help of Voronkov and Chinakhov. He also observed that hockey players are becoming more confident and want to increase their performance. Pascal Vincent appreciated Marchenko’s performance. He called him a leader and added that the Russian is playing an increasingly important role on the bench.

While Columbus enjoys the aggressive attacking play of Russia’s young hockey players, Washington increasingly suffers from the declining strength of its veterans. The Capitals are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 36 points. In total, the capital won 16 of 29 games.
It is true that Spencer Carbury’s team scores very few goals: 73 goals. This is the worst result in the East. But it is also worth highlighting a fairly reliable defensive game: only 82 goals were conceded. Washington has lost 5 of its last 10 games. Lost to Vegas (1-4), Arizona (0-6), Dallas (4-5 B), Philadelphia (3-4 B) and Nashville (1-3). The capital won in the meetings with Anaheim (5-4), Rangers (4-0), Chicago (4-2), Carolina (2-1 B) and Islanders (3-2 overtime).
Ovechkin has failed to score in 14 games, extending his record streak. During this period, he only had six assists. Alexander recently spoke about this. According to the 38-year-old Russian, he does not know the reasons for the lack of goals. He also pointed out that not even the club itself scores as many goals as before. The Capitals captain is confident that he has a chance to score and that will happen soon.
A brilliant fight awaits the public:
Daniel Dubois – Jarell Miller. There will be a knockout!
Spencer Carbery was not left out either. The capital’s coach believes that as soon as Ovechkin’s shots hit the goal, everything will happen according to the principle of a growing snowball. The coach also appreciated Ivan Miroshnichenko’s debut match. According to him, the 19-year-old forward has an NHL-like shot and knows how to score.
I can’t believe Ovechkin takes his record-breaking streak to 15 games. Furthermore, after the last game, in which he provided an assist in overtime, the coach and several hockey players expressed their support for Alexander on camera. But Columbus has its own, albeit growing, leader from Russia: Marchenko, who scored a hat trick in the last game. We believe that the match will be productive and Ovechkin and Marchenko will score at odds of 7.00.
In addition, Kirill has repeatedly said that he admires Alexander’s work and strives to follow his example. He liked that when Columbus played against Washington, in the stands the 23-year-old Russian saw a large number of fans wearing sweaters with the name of the captain of the capital.
Prediction and bets for the match “Columbus” – “Washington” on December 22, 2023
The 23-year-old Russian will try to prove himself in a match against a 38-year-old veteran compatriot. Columbus’s last few games have been very productive. In 9 of 10 previous games the total exceeded 5.5 goals. Marchenko scored in four of them. The Capitals aren’t as lucky on offense, but they have won the last two head-to-head meetings against the Blue Jackets by one goal. There is a chance that Ovechkin scores his goal into an empty net – he really needs it! We have a double-edged offensive game and Marchenko and Ovechkin will score within 7:00.
Tender: Alexander Ovechkin and Kirill Marchenko will score in 7:00.
