Command Analysis
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
San Jose, having returned to the home arena, continued to show mediocre results. In the first match of the series, the team faced the Islanders and was unable to compensate for defensive failures due to their own performance and was defeated with a score of 2:4. What is especially noteworthy is that in three periods the team made as many as 40 shots at the Islanders' goal, but their accuracy was not enough. A similar situation arose in the next match with Nashville, in which the sharks also played much more actively than their competitor, but this did not bring the proper result. As a result, I had to concede in regular time with a difference of one goal (2:3).
Nevertheless, the Sharks were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and interrupt another series of failures. The team also played in the home arena, where they hosted an opponent of their level, represented by Chicago. Finally, the attacking line of the hosts realized itself, winning a landslide victory with a score of 4:2. In particular, it is worth praising the Count's striker, who scored a double. Due to such weak results, San Jose continues to remain on the last line in the Western Conference table, having no chance of reaching the playoffs.

After the successful completion of the home series and another victory over Seattle (4:2), the team went to play on the road, where in the very first match they left no chance to their competitor, defeating Anaheim with a score of 7:4. The Ducks tried to cling to the points almost to the end of the meeting, but just 10 minutes before the final whistle, the capitals We scored three goals and gained a critical advantage. Ovechkin provided three assists, and Protas scored a hat trick.
However, the team's string of successful performances came to an end. The Capitals, away from Los Angeles, to a great surprise, could not realize their attacking potential from the word at all, having suffered a dry defeat (0:3).
