One of the teams that has shown a good recovery during the most recent game is Pittsburgh Penguins, which less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game faced Boston Bruins and defeated them 1-2. However, their next opponent is Calgary Flames, a Canadian team that is having an amazing performance in the Western Conference.
Looking closely at Pittsburgh Penguins’ performance, it must be noted that they showed a great character to comeback against Boston Bruins, however, the exhaustion of travelling back from Boston practically on the same day will definitely have a repercussion on their level. Additionally, they made a monumental defensive effort to keep their advantage over the Bruins, being the first time since February in which their goalie, Tristan Jarry achieved a back-to-back victory.
When looking at Calgary Flames’ performance, this will be their fourth away game in a row, being worth noting that they lost the first 3 of them. Those bad results took them out of the top 4 of the Western Conference, so their defensive line is expected to show a radical improvement to avoid conceding 4 or more goals just like happened against Columbus and Ottawa. Nevertheless, it must be mentioned that the Flames haven’t scored more than 3 goals in regulation time since their 1-4 victory over Edmonton Oilers in October 2023.
