Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins have won the Stanley Cup for two seasons in a row, but as they currently play, they will not be able to win the title for the third time in a row. Nevertheless, you should not copy this team so easily, otherwise they will deliver their best games only in the season finish or in the playoffs. However, right at the beginning of the season, you could see that they are not as dominant as in the last two seasons when they rarely lost their duels. At one point, they stayed in the lower half of the table, which is why the playoff move was under question marks.
However, they have a very high quality team available and will certainly not let them stay without participating in the playoffs. After some bad results, at the beginning of last month, the penguins finally started to play the way you expect them to. They have four wins in a row, one in the distance and three in front of their own fans. This positive series came to an end after defeat Anaheim Ducks, but in the following match they celebrated away against the Kings. Afterwards, they lost to the Sharks in the distance and then four home wins followed. After some brilliant games, they were defeated away from the Devils on the final day of the match. Now they play again in front of their own audience, where they will receive the leaders of the Western Conference.

Vegas Golden Knights
Nobody expected Vegas to shine in its debut season, but the Golden Knights have proven their quality and are currently battling for the top spot. From the beginning they play great and currently have three points ahead of second-placed Winnipeg. They have already reached their main goal and that is the entry into the playoffs. Of course, with the good results, the ambitions of the owners of this club rise, because Vegas plays much better than expected.
