It's been a period of great form for them as their 3-5 away win over St Louis Blues took them to six(6) wins in seven(7) games. In fact, during this time they have practically won almost 50% of their total victories this year! Of course, of these victories, only two (2) were against strong teams and those under circumstances, we will not analyze them all here. This in my eyes means that maybe the program favored them, without their successes going unnoticed. Absent are Stalock A. (14 points/91.81%resp./1 point), Tinordi J.(A.25συμ / 2γκ / 3ασ) & Khaira J.(E.29συμ / 3γκ / 3ασ).West Region

The good work they had done last year, goes out on the ice again this year. What they need to do though is to improve their image in away matches. However, things have not been going well lately. They lost 5-3 on the road to the Nashville Predators and this brought their 3rd straight loss. The reason; It is the 3rd consecutive match that they have conceded more than four (4) goals in their matches. They have fallen in the standings but theoretically they will recover quickly because they are one of the good teams. The newcomer Fiala K. (E.48cm/16g/31as) together with the experienced Kopitar A. (E.48cm/12g/25as) are having a very good tournament! Only Grundstrom absent C.(E.37συμ/6γκ/4ασ), Kaliyev Α.(Ε.34συμ/.9γκ/10ασ), Death T.(E.37συμ / 7γκ / 12ασ) & Vilardi G.(E.45συμ / 17γκ / 14ασ).
Both teams have one (1) significant absence each. With the difference that his absence Stalock A. (T.14com/91.81%rep./1c.e.), is more important and is not replaced as easily compared to Vilardi G.(E.45 comp/17g/14as), who also has some chances to play. The "Royals" are a better team and I think that in the end they will win even with difficulty. Double with few goals. 2&Under8.5.
