LiontipsPittsburgh vs Arizona. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 26, 2022).
Command Analysis
Pittsburgh are on a five-game winning streak. The Penguins experienced some problems against San Jose and Winnipeg, who they failed to beat in regulation, but they managed to crush Columbus with a score of 5:2. In that game, forward Crosby delivered a brilliant performance - he scored a hat-trick and gave an assist.
Now the Penguins are back to the home court, where they usually put their best foot forward. They have earned points in seven home games in a row.
Arizona strated their away series by defeating New Jersey (4:1). This victory was made possible by goalie Vejmelka, who saved 97% of the shots. But the Coyotes failed to build on that success and suffered a crushing defeat from the Islanders (0:4) in the following match. Wedgewood wasn't as reliable as his teammate.
After that, the Coyotes lost to the Rangers with a score of 3:7.
