Command Analysis
Pittsburgh are on top form. They won the last five matches, most of them away from home. The Penguins were excellent against Montreal (6:0), Toronto (2:0), and the Islanders (1:0). In the previous game against the Canadiens, forward Blueger gave and assist and netted a double.
At home, the Pens played against Vancouver in the last fixture. They crushed the Canucks with a score of 4:1; Pittsburgh's goalie Jarry saved 36 out of 37 shots on goal.
Montreal continue to deliver disappointing results. In the last seven games, the Canadiens picked only three points: they defeated Nashville (6:3) and lost to Detroit in overtime (2:3 OT).
