(Position 5th Div.Ν.7-ΝΠ.1-ΗΠ.1-Η.5 Τερμ.46-42)
They are starting to find a rhythm now. Three(3) wins in four(4) games and they are starting to climb the standings. In fact, their last win was impressive as they kept a clean sheet against the Carolina Hurricanes. They beat them 3-0. Now they finally want to build a streak and climb even higher. Alone Duclair A. (E.).
Edmonton Oilers
(Θέση6η Ν.8-ΝΠ.0-ΗΠ.0-Η.7 Τερμ.55-56)
After three (3) straight losses, came one (1) away win over the mighty Tampa Bay Lightning 2-3. It was a victory that came from good defense and not the classic attacking game they played. And they went back to the anarchic attacking hockey they play and the result of that was getting swept by the Carolina Hurricanes 7-2 away from home! They are not consistent in their performances and this will cost them in trouble. I don't know how much as they are very good offensively, but that alone is not enough. They give the 4th consecutive away game. The formidable duo of McDavid C. (E.15comp/15g/16as) – Draisaitl L.(E.15com/9g/18as) continues to impress this year as well. Nugent-Hopkins R. (E.15com/7g) is a good supporter /9as). Permanently absent are Smith M. (T.), Klefbom O. (A.), Benson T. (E.) while they will also miss Kane E. (E.14sym/5g/8as) and Yamamoto K. (E.13sim/3as) .
The "Panthers" are a much more serious team with a more correct plan on the ice. Now that they have started hitting better they will start getting more points. Especially against teams that are naive at the back. Ace.
