Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USANew Jersey are 11th in the East with a total of 22 points. The Devils are suffering a dip in form and haven't been able to deliver successful results for a while now. Last season they also looked great at the start, but didn't make a lot of progress later on.
In the last three games, the Devils suffered devastating defeats. They lost to San Jose (2:5), Minnesota (2:5) and Winnipeg (4:8). Lindy Ruff's charges were leading 4:3 against the Jets, but lost all that advantage in the second and third periods.
Ottawa Senators
CanadaOttawa are the main outsiders in the Eastern Conference, and they are trying to strengthen their standings with little success. The Senators have one of the worst defenses and usually concede at least four goals per match. Despite this, in the last two games they defeated powerful opponents.
First, the Senators prevailed over Carolina (3:2) away, then at home they recorded a 6:5 victory over Colorado in overtime. However, Ottawa didn't look very confident, for example, they allowed the Avalanche to come back from losing 5:2.
