LiontipsPittsburgh vs Calgary. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 29, 2021).
Command Analysis
Pittsburgh are 6th in the Eastern Conference, even though they currently have to play without their leaders. They are struggling against the top clubs, but manage to stay afloat. The Pens are inconsistent and alternate victories and defeats. For example, recently they lost to Dallas at home (1:2 P), then absolutely thrashed Toronto (7:1), and got crushed by Tampa with a score of 1:5.
Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and Carter are unavailable due to various reasons, and Pittsburgh find it difficult to create chances against strong opponents in the absense of their main stars.
The Calgary Flames were defeated in the first two fixtures of the regular season, but then managed to develop a winning streak of four games. All of the victories were recorded away from home. The Flames defeated Washington (4:3 OT), the Rangers (5:1), and New Jersey (5:3).
Calgary demonstrate excellent performance and confidently use their scoring chances. Elias Lindholm and Andrew Mangiapane have already scored 14 goals together; these two forwards can often decide the outcome of the match. Calgary also try to control the posession of the puck as much as possible.
