Command Analysis

Pittsburgh Penguins

Current form
Pittsburgh has finally come to its senses after a long slump and has not lost for three games in a row. The winning streak began against Minnesota, where the team showed a very reliable defensive game, which is unusual for it. The Penguins did not allow the obvious favorite to be realized in the attack and confidently prevailed with a score of 3:1. In particular, it is worth praising goalkeeper Jarry, who blocked 96% of shots, as well as striker Crosby, who scored a double. It seemed that by returning to the home arena, the team would not be able to consolidate their success, as they had to fight the clear favorite, Vegas. But goalkeeper Jarry was on top again, which made it possible to snatch the hardest victory in overtime (3:2).
Continuing to play at home, the Penguins faced St. Louis and this time they showed a very effective offensive game themselves, winning the third victory in a row (5:3). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. However, the points scored did not help Pittsburgh to move from its place, and it continues to remain on the penultimate line in the Eastern Conference table.

New Jersey Devils

Current form
New Jersey has also been in great shape lately, and the winning streak has already reached three matches in a row, all of which ended in regular time. The team held an away match with Philadelphia, where they were able to restrain the pressure of the opponent and won a landslide victory (3:1). Goalkeeper Allen proved himself at his best, not allowing the Flyers to catch on to the comeback. Upon returning to their home arena, the Devils faced off against another opponent of their level, Columbus, and beat him again by a margin of more than one goal (5:3). The most productive was striker Bratt, who scored a goal and provided two assists.
Continuing to perform at home, the team met with Edmonton and again succeeded at the expense of Allen and Bratt (3:2). This time, the goalkeeper blocked 31 shots out of 33. Even a prolonged recession has not shifted New Jersey from its position in the playoff zone. At the moment, the club is on the sixth line, with 78 points.

Three players remain in the New Jersey infirmary: Hamilton, Hughes and Siegenthaler.
Interesting betting trends
- The Devils completed 27% of the majority attempts

Bookmakers do not believe in the success of Pittsburgh in the upcoming match and give a fairly high coefficient for his victory, which can be used. As you can see, Pittsburgh has come to its senses after the recession and is now showing itself at its best, beating almost any competitors in its path. In addition, the Penguins will be playing at their home arena, where they have even more chances with the support of the fans. We believe that the owners of the ice, at least, will not lose in regular time.
Our betting tip is that Pittsburgh will not lose in 1.81

This meeting promises to be very productive. Both teams are far from showing the best defense this season, but the offensive line often makes up for this disadvantage.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.75
Betting on the outcome of the first period
The Penguins have been pleasing fans lately with their confident play at the beginning of the match, which allows the Penguins to earn an advantage at the end of the kickoff. We believe that the hosts will be able to create serious problems for the Devils again from the very start of the match.
Prediction - Pittsburgh won't lose in 1.81
