The NHL Eastern Conference has delivered an amazing regular season level, however there are some teams like Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins that have majorly disappointed the general expectations due to their terrible performance in the current season. With that in mind, those teams will clash next Saturday at 02:00 pm CST in a game that is expected to be spectacular due to the defensive problems that both teams have shown this seasn.
On the one hand, Pittsburgh Penguins are still highlighting as the worst defensive line in the Eastern Conference after conceding 224 goals this season. However, they were able to cut off a streak of 4 losses in a row after their most recent victory over Philadelphia Flyers (5-4), which provided them some motivation to avoid being relegated to the bottom spot of their Conference.
On the other hand, Boston Bruins are one of the only two teams that lost their last 5 games in a row, currently noting as the third worst offensive line in the Eastern Conference with just 164 goals scored this season. Nonetheless, they still have big chances of recovering on time as their gap against the playoffs’ mark is only of 4 points, but this kind of game is those in which they should become a competitive team.
