Command Analysis

Montreal Canadiens

Montreal were doing well for a while, but in the last two games, the team suffered devastating defeats. At home, the Canadiens got crushed by New Jersey (1:5). They were terrible on defense and gave their opponents too much freedom to create dangerous chances. After that, Montreal traveled to Columbus, where they were beaten with a score of 4:6. Goalie Montembeault saved only 82% of the shots he faced.

Philadelphia Flyers

Philadelphia are on a five-game losing streak. The Flyers came close to breaking the string of defeats in the game against Columbus, but eventually they lost in overtime (4:5 OT). The team struggles to get points both at home and on road trips. In the last two games, they got crushed by Ottawa (1:4) and Dallas (1:5). Currently, Philadelphia are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.
