Command Analysis
Anaheim continue their home series. At first, they were showing poor results, but then managed to get two wins in a row - they defeated Dallas (2:0) and got the upper hand over San Jose (5:4 ОТ). However, the Ducks couldn't build on that success and in the last game suffered a crushing defeat to Boston (1:7). Goalie Gibson saved only 83% of the shots he faced.
Edmonton are in a downturn. In the last five games, they got only one victory, over the Islanders (4:2). The Oilers had an excellent performance on defense and allowed the opponent to make only 22 shots. Edmonton were close to defeating Colorado, too, but the Avalanche snatched a win in overtime (2:3 OT). The Oilers couldn't withhold the attacks of Seattle (2:5) and Los Angeles (3:6).
