(Θέση4η Ν.14-ΝΠ.0-ΗΠ.5-Η.7 Τερμ.98-76)
They have started the season well and that is why they are high in the rankings. A team that relies heavily on the home factor and that scores fairly regularly. They currently hold 3η better performance in the home matches of the teams of the Western Region and that is why the three (3) defeats in the last four (4) games they gave in there are surprising. Good time like the loss in the last 0-4 against the Toronto Maple Lees. It's not the defeat that surprised, but that they stayed at zero. White absence card.

(Θέση15η Ν.8-ΝΠ.2-ΝΗ.1-Η.14 Τέρμ.77-83)
I didn't expect anything better from them this year. They are fairly low because as a group in my eyes they are quite average. And this can be seen from most of their appearances, as in the previous home game where I was fairly beaten 2-5 by the Los Angeles Kings. I don't see how they'll get past 13η position this year. Absent are Bernard-Docker Y. (A.6sym/1as), Zub A. (A.14sym/2g/2as) and Norris J. (E.5sym/1g/1as).
On the one hand we have the "Stars" who are doing very well and are quite strong at home. On the other hand, the "Senators" who are not playing well and have the 2η worse performance away from home. I see nothing but a victory for the home team. Ace.
