Command Analysis

Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh currenty are in 4th place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Penguins were on an impressive six-game winning streak, but in the last two matches, they suffered defeats - first to Seattle (1:2 OT), and then to Detroit (2:3 SO).

This season, Sullivan's side usually score no less than three goals per game, moreover, they haven't lost three games in a row in a very long time. The hosts will be looking to bounce back in the upcoming fixture.

Los Angeles Kings

Los Angelesare trying to get into the playoffs zone, but they have very strong competition, for instance, Calgary are right behind the Kings and have five games in hand.

After a victory over New Jersey (3:2), the Kings lost to the Rangers in a shootout (2:3 SO), and then prevailed over the Islanders (3:2) before yielding to Philadelphia in overtime (3:4 OT). Todd McLellan's men demonstrate a very defensive style of hockey on their travels and rarely concede more than three goals.
