Command Analysis
Washington Capitals
USAWashington finally started to achieve positive results. Team had a terrible start of the season, but now things are getting better, despite some injury concerns. T.J. Oshie briefly returned to the line-up, but a few days ago he got injuried again.
Despite his absence, the Capitals secured home victories over Toronto (5:2) and Detroit (4:3 OT). Second period is the best time for Peter Laviolette's lads, they rarely leave the middle period without a goal.
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaWinnipeg team lies 3rd in the Western conference standings. Team has the ability to dethrone the leading Vegas, if Jets will be able to launch a winning streak. Bowness' men secured victories in four of five latest matches.
