This Friday night will bring only a couple of NHL games; however, both are expected to be entertaining because of the teams' competitive play. In this regard, the first game will feature a clash between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Colorado Avalanche, teams with similar momentum over their last five games.
Still, playing in Denver is expected to give the Colorado Avalanche extra motivation, especially after losing their last two games at Ball Arena. With that in mind, players like Nathan MacKinnon, Martin Necas, and Artturi Lehkonen are expected to deal significant damage to the Penguins’ defense early in the game.
On the Pittsburgh Penguins’ side, they are just one point behind the Washington Capitals in the Metropolitan Division, so securing points in this game will be key to avoid losing the pace of the top 3 franchises. Nevertheless, ignoring the fact that the Penguins have won only one of their seven games in regulation is a clear sign the team needs to rebuild to become a playoff contender.
