At the beginning of the season we considered them not only one of the favorites for the District but also for the entire league. They have ultimately fallen short of expectations and are currently out of the playoffs if only marginally. Lately, however, they have remembered their old good selves, have picked up the difference and are heading full speed not only for their entry, but also a good ranking now. They count five(5) streak wins, which they achieve 1η time this year. After their difficult victory on penalties with 1-2 against the Seattle Kraken. McKinnon N. (13 goals & 38 assists) & the good Rantanen M. (32 goals & 26 assists) are the two (2) players who naturally make the difference. Absent are Byram B. (A.10s/2g/3as), Manson J.(A.21s/2g/4as), Johnson E. (A.45sim/7as), makar C. (A.42comp/13g/30as), Helm D.(E.5sym), Landeskog G.(E.), Malgin D.(E.7sym/1as).

Alternating results between defeat and victory during this period. This time it was the turn of the defeat and indeed the easy defeat by the decimated Vegas Golden Knights 6-2 away from home. At no point in the game did they manage to become a threat and they lost fairly. They are in the playoffs, but I don't know if they will make it in the end. Away from home they are doing better than at home, and this is clearly due to the period 06.12.22-06.01.23 where they achieved seven(7) consecutive wins! The point is that they are constantly plagued by absences and now some important ones have arisen. Absent are Carlson J.(A.30συμ / 8γκ / 13ασ), Ovechkin A. (E.48cm/30g/22as), Oshie T.J.(E.32συμ/10γκ/7ασ), Dowd Ν.(Ε.44συμ/10γκ/9ασ), Hagelin C.(E.) & Brown C.(E.4comp).
"Avalanches" drag everyone in their path during this time. Yes, the absence of Makar C. (A.42cm/13g/30as), is very important, but they have a roster that is covered. On the contrary, the "Proteusians" come from a heavy defeat, a bad performance and the absences of Carlson J. (A.30comp/8g/13as), Ovechkin A. (E.48com/30g/22as), Oshie TJ (E.32com/10g/ 7a), in the creative part and against this defense, difficult to cover. Ace (includes overtime & penalties).
