Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
At the very end of the regular season, Carolina had a slump, which prevented the team from succeeding for four consecutive matches. In all of them, the team played on the road, where they were able to impose a worthy struggle only on Washington, losing in a shootout (4:5). The Hurricanes equalized the score just two minutes before the final whistle, but were unable to achieve success. There were also some completely failed landings. Visiting Boston, they had huge defensive problems, and the attacking line could not compensate for them, which together led to a defeat (1:5). In the duel with Buffalo, difficulties also arose with the realization of attacking chances, none of the 33 shots reached the goal, and as a result, the meeting ended dry (0:3).
Upon returning to their home arena, the Hurricanes immediately broke the streak of setbacks. The team fought the Rangers and took advantage of their terrible form, defeating them with a score of 7:3. By the end of the second period, the Hurricanes had scored four unanswered goals and were able to maintain their superiority until the end of the meeting. The most productive was striker Jarvis, who scored a goal and provided two assists. It is worth noting that the club currently occupies the third place in the Western Conference table, but due to the recession, the advantage over the nearest competitor has been reduced to one point.

Toronto Maple Leafs

Current form
Toronto continues to be in great shape, beating almost all opponents in its path. The team was able to earn a four-match winning streak, which was interrupted by a visit to Florida, where it was unable to realize its powerful attacking potential, losing with a score of 1:3. The offensive line played too passively and scored only 18 shots on the Panthers' goal in three periods. However, the leafs immediately rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans and regained their lost points in a duel with another very serious opponent, in the person of Tampa Bay, snatching Victoria from her in overtime (4:3). Everything was going to be a confident fuck-up in regular time, but in the third period the opponent realized two majorities, thanks to which he was able to transfer the game to extra time. It is impossible not to mention the Lowly striker, who scored a hat-trick.
The Maple Leafs were able to consolidate their success on the home arena, where they also barely snatched Victoria from Montreal in overtime (1-0). The team showed a very reliable defensive game, and also consistently created powerful pressure on the Canadiens, but the puck stubbornly did not want to fly to the target, which almost led to defeat. Toronto has long been eligible for the playoffs and has excellent chances to remain in second place in the Eastern Conference table at the end of the regular season.
