They lost 2-4 at home to the Detroit Red Wings in a game they deserved their fate because they woke up late and did it in the 3η period with the score already at 0-2. Of course in 3η period they were stormy, but they could not change the situation. Now they will give 3ο streak at home and looking to get a clean sweep. A team that scores but also concedes goals. With 10/13 of their home games being Over7.5. Absent are Fleury H. (A.13comp/1as) and Balcers R.(E.3comp/1as).

They reached four (4) wins in five (5) games. Thus they managed to climb further in the standings. The impressive thing is that three (3) of their victories came in extra time. Of course, in the last match they won 1-4 in the home of the New York Islanders. A team that doesn't score often and relies heavily on its blocking function. It is characteristic that they have only 5/23 Over7.5 goals in their games and 3/11 away from home! Absent for tonight are McDonagh R.(A.23cm/6as) and Borowiecki M. (A.4comp).
The "Lightnings" were defeated in the previous one, which I did not expect. Now they want to erase this poor form quickly to climb further up the table. The visitors got some wins, but I don't think they can go on a longer run. I believe Assos has the first say.
