The second game of the NHL regular season series between Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings will be played next Wednesday in the PPG Paints Arena. These teams aren’t really having a good time in the Eastern Conference, so this can be taken as a must-win game for both.
When looking at both teams’ performance, it can be found that Pittsburgh Penguins are the worst defensive in the Conference with 68 received goals, a number that doesn’t give them any hope of qualifying to the playoffs by the end of the regular season. Despite this, it must be noted that they lead the regular season series against the Red Wings, as they won 6-3 last October 10th with a great performance from Anthony Beauvillier, who scored twice.
Meanwhile, Detroit Red Wings is currently highlighting as the Eastern Conference’s worst offensive with just 34 scored goals, and even when Dylan Larkin has made a very big effort by scoring 9 goals throughout the season, there aren’t any other consistent players on the offensive. Even so, it must be noted that Alex DeBrincat scored twice during their first game of the regular season, but the team was only able to score in 1 out of their 5 power plays.
