Command Analysis

New Jersey Devils

USA

New Jersey are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference table with a total of 28 points. The Devils are one of the outsiders in the league, but that is hardly surpeising since the team is undergoing a major reconstruction.

Some of the young players have already demonstrated their potential. For instance, Mercer-Bratt-Johnsson link delivers great performance in almost every match. The Devils were on a six-game losing streak before the break in the NHL, and they ended it in the last game against Buffalo (4:3)

Edmonton Oilers

Canada

Edmontonare currently 8th in the West. After a fantastic start, the Oilers suddenly started losing even to weaker opponents. Edmonton had been on a six-game losing streak, but then managed to get two victories over Columbus (5:2) and Seattle (5:3). In the last game, the Oilers suffered a defeat to St. Louis (2:4).

The Oilers have problems on the defensive and often concede at least three goals per game. Moreover, many of their top players are unavailable due to illness and injuries. However, even in suboptimal line-up, Tippett's charges managed to fight off the Blues.
