Their classic game with many goals, a classic loss if the match does not go well for them, as it happened against the Minnesota Wild. The triple McDavid C.(E.24comp/19g/24as) – Draisaitl L.(E.24com/16g/22as) - Nugent-Hopkins R.(E.24com/10g/15as) continues to score permanently but if the others they don't help a bit at the back they won't be able to climb higher. It is typical that they have 2ο higher m.o. 7g/match. Permanently absent are Smith M. (T.), Klefbom O. (A.), while the Kane E. (E.14cm/5g/8as), McLeod R. (E.21/com/3g/5as) Foegele W. (E.20com/3g/2as) and Yamamoto K. (E.13com/3as).

Their image has nothing to do with last year. But that doesn't mean they are capable of making the playoffs this year. Their shirt is very heavy but the victories they achieve are often marginal and unfair, like the last one against the Calgary Flames away from home with 1-2. They are in good shape this time, at least in terms of results. Absent PriceC.(T.), Byron P.(E.), Drouin J.(E.12comp./4as), Hoffman M.(A.16comp./3as) & Gallagher B.(E.22συμ. / 3γκ / 5ασ).
The home team is a much better team and scores comfortably. The point is not to send them back. The "Canadians" can't get a result from luck again. They got to play some hockey too. Ace.
