Command Analysis
Washington were off to a rough start to the new NHL season. The team lost to Boston (2:5) and Toronto (2:3), before finally delivering a successful result against Montreal (3:1). The Capitals certainly have some problems creating and converting scoring chances.

Vancouver will hope to redeem thmselves for the disappointing last season, but they don't have a powerful team and are unlikely to achieve anything in the playoffs. The Canucks lost their first two games. In both matches, they were leading confidently, but then threw away the game - a defeat to Edmonton (3:5) was followed by a loss to Philadelphia (2:3).
