Command Analysis

Anaheim Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks ended their three-game losing streak by defeating San Jose in the last fixture (3:2 B). The Ducks had a good chance to win in regulation, but they conceded five minutes before the final siren. Goaltender Gibson should be given credit for saving 42 out of 44 shots.
The Ducks lost their first game against San Jose (1:3) and suffered two defeats at the hands of the Arizona Coyotes (1:4 and 3:4).

Los Angeles Kings

After losing their first preseason game to Arizona, the Los Angeles Kings made a recovery and won twice. First, the Kings beat San Jose with a score of 4:3. Then they went against Vegas, who are a much more difficult opponent, and earned another victory (3:1). Goaltender Sparks saved 94% of the shots.
However, the Kings failed to build on that success; the team suffered a crushing defeat in the return match against the Golden Knights (0:4) and could not take revenge on Arizona either (1:4).
