Monday-Tuesday night, the Western Conference’s first semi-finalist was revealed – Colorado never gave Nashville a single game, closed the series in four meetings and placed itself in the current Stanley Cup’s main favorites status. Draw. Pittsburgh has greatly increased its chances of reaching the second round – as with Pennsylvania a dozen years ago, the team is being dragged by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, which has so far not stopped it from unconditionally beating the young and promising Rangers. Washington was close to the third victory in the series, but he made a few mistakes that could be key in his duel with Florida.

Already, we can safely say that the Capitals managed to seriously surprise them in the 2022 playoffs. Firstly, they are absolutely on par with the opponent that everyone sent to the semi-finals of the East even before the start of the first round. Secondly, the club in the US capital copes without any special scoring features performed by Alexander Ovechkin. The 4-game “Washington” captain was honored with a puck and suddenly began distributing assists. Another assist Ovi took every opportunity to be decisive in the fourth game of the series. What went wrong?

Part of the “guilt” of what happened should be taken by Sergei Bobrovsky – it was he who stopped Markus Johansson, who did not allow the home team to double their advantage and finish the fourth game. “Thank God I didn’t have time to replace him,” said Panthers head coach Andrew Bryunette. Well, the remainder of the task of rescuing the rapidly sinking Florida ship was taken over by the Capitals players – at first they let Sam Rinehart knock Ilya Samsonov’s doors off from a far penny, and then they were unable to thwart Carter Verhag. from giving guests victory over overtime.

This victory will help Florida hugely psychologically – the regular season’s top club has finally shown the trophy character that many doubted before the playoffs kicked off. The Panthers took an almost won match from their opponent and turned the tide of the unsuccessful third period – the emotions from such a difficult victory will become crucial for the rest of the series, although Alexander Ovechkin promised to quickly forget the humiliating failure:

“I think we played well in the third quarter, we played solid. Somehow the game turned upside down. We had bad rebounds in the end. Like I said, it will be a tough long series. Let’s forget this game and move on.”

“Florida” – Our prediction for the fifth game of the “Washington” series: “Florida” win in regular time, odds – 1.75.
