Command Analysis

Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh have mounted a four-game winning streak. The Penguins defeated Seattle (6:1), Washington (4:2) and Vancouver (4:1) away from home. The Pens' forward Crosby was excellent in those three games and chalked up 7 points. Back at home, the Penguins recorded a narrow win over Anaheim (1:0). Goalie DeSmith deserved high praise for his shutout performance - he saved 33 shots on goal.

Montreal Canadiens

Montrealare enduring a poor campaign and sit bottom of the table in the East. The Canadiens had a chance against Tampa at home, but failed to keep the lead and conceded two goals in the third period. After that, Montreal lost to Chicago (0:2) and to St. Louis (1: 4). The main reason for such disastrous results is too many injuries in the squad - nine players are currently sidelined.
