This Wednesday night’s NHL schedule will feature a crucial game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Calgary Flames, teams that will be in a very bad position in case of not winning this game. With this in mind, this game is expected to present a strong defensive performance from both sides, but it’s notorious that the Flames should be the most offensive team on the ice.
That said, it must be noted that the Calgary Flames are expected to increase their offensive performance, as they currently are the second-worst offense with just 127 goals scored throughout the season. Despite these bad numbers, the Flames are just six points behind the playoff zone in the Western Conference standings, so players like Mikael Backlund and Matt Coronato are expected to increase their scoring ratio by the end of the regular season.
Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins have managed to remain in playoff spots in the Eastern Conference during almost all of the regular season; however, they have had very irregular performances during their most recent games. Taking this into account, it makes sense that the Penguins have lost four of their last six games, a bad streak driven by a bad offensive performance.
