Command Analysis

Washington Capitals

Washington are currently 7th in the Eastern Conference, they were in a long slump. But in recent matches team started to achieve good results once again. They trashed Dallas (5:0) on away and then narrowly beat Pittsburgh (4:3 OT), team gained confidence, because two points in the derby is a huge boost for any club.

Dmitry Orlov put up an incredible performance in the previous game, he scored a brace and one of his goals turned out to be decisive in the match. After that Capitals will try to extend their success.

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton still have a chance to advance into the playoffs in the current season, but for that they need to gain consistency. Not too long ago team was achieving great results and had a four-game winning streak, but it suddenly ended in the match against Ottawa (2:3 OT).

Overall, most of recent Oilers' matches ended in overtime. They lack discipline on defense, so in some matches they concede three to four goals, especially in games against top teams.
