Already at 19:00 there is a drop in Saturday night’s NHL match between Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings, a match that can be seen on several different Swedish TV channels.
Pittsburgh Penguins has not really been recognized for much of the season, but in recent weeks we think we have seen trends in the game that are very promising. It speaks a bit more in the offensive and it’s only then that this is good at real.
Looking at the shape of actual numbers, that is, results, it has become better with three wins in the last four years. 4-0 away against New York Islanders and 5-1 away against Philadelphia Flyers were two great achievements and now the feeling is that this team finally got the steam back. Then Pittsburgh Penguins are dangerous for all teams.
The home team have an advantage
For the resistance in Saturday’s early match, Detroit Red Wings, which after a five-match long period of home matches will be on its way again. Looking at the table, the team has harrowed just outside the team, which is seriously involved in the battle of playoffs, but yet the dream is not in any way dead. The 5-2 loss at home against Tampa Bay Lightning last was indeed proof that the team still has a bit up to the best, but at the same time, Detroit Red Wings has proved dangerous in several matches so far.
At the home team there are no few plays in the form of Carter Rowney, Chad Ruhwedel and Bryan Rust. Goalkeeper Matt Murray has been released for personal reasons and it is unclear whether he is back in play already here. Luke Glendening is not part of the visitors’ part, while goalkeeper Jimmy Howard will be tested on the match day.
Here, we believe that Pittsburgh Penguins may be seen as favorites. With some nice offensive go throughout the team, we think the home team takes the command here.
