We have reached the 12th matchday and to everyone's surprise, they still have a positive coefficient! To tell you the truth I have fallen out a bit with them and they have disproved me. I want to see if they can continue at this pace and fight for a ticket to the playoffs, which I don't believe even though the latest signs are starting to convince me. The three (3) straight losses and especially the last one by the Arizona Coyotes at home with 1-4 was something that is considered a setback. Absent are Samuelsson M. (A.5sy), Jokiharju H. (A.4sy/1as).

They have climbed to the top this year and they don't want to let it go. 8th win in a row with another serious performance. Last year's failure has made them stubborn and they want to show that they are ready for a lot. They won at a difficult home of the Toronto Maple Leafs with 3-4 (3-3 points) in overtime. Absences that are now common Lehner R.(T.), Weber S.(A.), Patrick M.(E.).
The Golden Knights are currently playing the best hockey in my opinion. Very careful at the back and with an organized attack. The Swords may be better than last year, but not the team that under normal circumstances will break this streak. Double.
