Command Analysis
Washington Capitals
USAWashington didn't have a very good season last year. They made it to the playoffs but lost to Florida in the very first round. The main stars of the Capitals are getting older, and the club faces big changes in the near future. Nevertheless, Washington looked good in the preseason and in the last two outings, they beat Detroit (4:2) and prevailed over Columbus (4:3 OT).
Boston Bruins
USABoston have a very powerful first line, but the team lacks the depth that is needed to be a serious contender for the Stanley Cup. At the moment, Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy are out injured, which can make the Bruins' start to the season quite difficult. In the last preseason games, the team lost to New Jersey twice (0:1, 3:5).
