Command Analysis
Carolina Hurricanes
USACarolina are currently 5th in the Eastern Conference table with a total of 41 points. The team had an excellent winning streak of four games, which was unexpectedly interrupted when the Hurricanes lost to Vancouver (1:2). However, in the next game, Carolina bounced back and celebrated success over Detroit (5:3).
Rod BrindAmour's charges love to play open hockey and usually score a lot at home. They average about 4 goals per game. However, in the upcoming fixture, the Hurricanes will be without some of their main attacking players, such as Aho and Svechnikov, who among others were included in the COVID-19 protocol.
Los Angeles Kings
USALos Angeles have started strengthening their standings. The Kings came closer to the playoffs zone and almost caught up with Edmonton, which not so long ago seemed an impossible task. The Kings won 3 of the last 4 games, losing only to Tampa in overtime (2:3 OT).
Todd McLellan's charges maanged to defeat Florida (4:1), having taken advantage of the Panthers' line-up problems. Los Angeles do not concede as many goals as they did at the start of the season, and now they rarely let the opponents score more than twice.
