They have the best attacking duo in all of NHL and yet, they can not be high in the standings. The main reason is that they can not find stability with anything. They defeated the weak Arizona Coyotes 6-1 in the last home game, but the previous day they were drawn 9-5 by the strong Calgary Flames away. Of course, I have to admit that lately at home they have become quite serious and they are beating everyone, already counting seven (7) consecutive victories in there. Their goal is to reach the playoffs. At the moment it is marginal means having +3 from 9ο. Practically full mission as the usual absentees Russel K. (A.20pcs / 4as) & Klefbom O. (A.) will not compete tonight.

This year they are doing better than more people would expect (including me). A team that fights all the games, does not open its scores much, with a nice defense but a moderate attack. He has so far taken advantage of the mediocre image of most Pacific Division teams and has climbed to 3η position. It is one of the most ambiguous categories this year. In fact, without expecting it, they are only seven (7) points away from the top. In their last game, however, they did not play well and were drawn 1-6 at home by the weak Seattle. Nothing is over yet. They must continue to be serious. He will be absent tonight as he will be missing doughty D.(A.39συμ / 7γκ / 24ασ), Roy M.(A.58συμ / 1γκ / 16ασ), Walker S. (A.6sym / 2as), Anderson M.(A.55συμ / 2γκ / 5ασ), Brown D.(E57ps / 8c / 17as), The best B.(E.44συμ / 8γκ / 3ασ) & Lizotte B.(E.61συμ / 8γκ / 11σ).
The hosts have been serious at home at least as it seems and will welcome direct contenders for places, but who travel with many important absences. If they appear like the previous games they will have no problem winning. Ace.
