Command Analysis
Calgary Flames
CanadaCalgary took advantage of Florida's poor form and crushed the Panthers with a score of 6:2. The Flames played very well and most players earned performance points. In the following game, however, the team lost to Montreal (1:2). They made 46 shots on target, but managed to score just one goal (due to the excellent performance by the Canadiens' goaltender).
Washington Capitals

After that, the Capitals gave their best effort against Vancouver and crushed them (5:1). Forward Ovechkin scored a double against the Canucks. The Capitals came close to to beating Seattle, too, but conceded one minute before the final siren and consequently lost in overtime (2:3 OT).

Calgary struggle to convert their chances and often lose because of that. Washington have been solid on defense recently, so we do not expect a large number of goals in this match.
