Command Analysis
The Washington Capitals have already scored 7 points and are occupting the 2nd line in the standings. The Capitals have earned points in each game of the regular season so far. First, they crushed the Rangers (5:1), then Colorado (6:3), and after that - New Jersey (4:1). Only Tampa managed to defeat the Capitals in overtime (1:2 OT).
The Capitals look fantastic on the offensive and usually score a large number of goals. Goaltender Vitek Vanecek hasn't yet conceded two goals in regulation. It is clear that Washington have set very ambitious goals for this season.
The Calgary Flames have played only three matches in the regular season. They lost two of them to Edmonton (2:5) and Anaheim (2:3 OT), but celebrated success in an away fixture against Detroit (3:0). The Flames showed really good play on the defensive, but as usual struggled to convert their scoring chances.
The attacking line of the Flames is very powerful: Mangiapane, Lindholm, Tkachuk are very skilled, but even they fail to improve Calgary's performance. The upcoming game will be a real test for the Flames.
