Command Analysis

Vegas Golden Knights

Current Form
Vegas is impressing fans with strong performances this preseason, suffering only one defeat in four games, losing to Los Angeles 2-3. The Knights made a serious push in the third period and nearly leveled the score but fell short in converting their scoring chances. The Golden Knights quickly redeemed themselves, first defeating Utah 5-2 and then dominating Colorado 6-1. Clearly, the Golden Knights exhibit an aggressive offensive style and, most importantly, demonstrate high shooting accuracy.
Interestingly, many expected Vegas to perform much weaker since the offseason saw the departure of several talented players, and finding suitable replacements proved challenging.

Colorado Avalanche

Current Form

However, despite their potential, the team faced significant changes that impacted their roster, particularly affecting the second and third lines. These adjustments appear to have had an adverse effect on their gameplay, as evidenced by their preseason results.
The Avalanche played four matches without managing to secure a single point. Notably, almost all their games ended in decisive defeats, with their only competitive performance being a narrow loss to Dallas by a single goal (2-3). In the rematch against the Stars, defensive issues resurfaced, leading to another defeat (2-4). Subsequently, the Avalanche lost to Utah (3-6) and Vegas (1-6).
