Command Analysis
Pittsburgh Penguins
USACurrent form
After successfully completing the away series and defeating Minnesota (3:1), the team returned to the home arena, where they continued to delight the fans with successful results. In the first match, the Penguins faced a clear favorite in Vegas and unexpectedly prevailed in overtime (3:2). Goalkeeper Jarry showed a great game, deflecting 35 of 37 shots. They managed to consolidate their success in a duel with St. Louis, in which the team realized its attacking potential, which made it possible to compensate for defensive failures and Snatch Victoria again with a score of 5:3. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.
Continuing to perform at home, the Penguins battled New Jersey and left no chance for their competitor, defeating him with a four-goal difference (7:3). Once again, almost all the players scored. Indeed, Pittsburgh has gained excellent form, but so far it has not come close to the playoff zone, which is six points behind.

The Islanders were not in the best shape and could not succeed for four consecutive matches. The team had a short away series, which it completely failed, suffering two crushing defeats from Los Angeles (1:4) and Anaheim (1:4). Returning to the home arena, the islanders continued to lose points. In the duel with Edmonton, there were problems again with both creating and implementing attacking chances. It was only thanks to the reliable play of goalkeeper Sorokin that they managed to cling to one point, losing in overtime (1:2).
Nevertheless, the team was able to break the series of failures in the duel with Florida, taking advantage of the opponent's decline and winning with a score of 4:2. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. It is worth noting that this regular season is not going well for New York.
