The West has a powerful attack and the East has the weakest defense. Dallas has three scoring lines, with the workload distributed approximately evenly among them. At present, Dallas has scored 18 goals and conceded half as many — just 9. Buffalo’s defense is one of the weakest in the league — 26 go... Show more

The Jets have made a great start to the championship, and I really like this team's play. Everyone knows what they are doing on the ice; it looks like the team has come together. And this season they will be competing for a top 3 spot in the West. The Penguins score a lot, but they also concede a lo... Show more

PSG are practically the champions of France and can devote all their energy to the Champions League, especially since Luis Enrique has experience winning the tournament as a coach. A one-goal defeat does not look critical, and the situation can be salvaged. I believe both teams are highly motivated ... Show more

The match of the season for Washington, and in today's games against Boston and Tampa they showed that they will fight tooth and nail for this chance; they played these matches very impressively and disciplined. Philadelphia have collapsed at the end of the season and now have absolutely no motivati... Show more

Today is a decisive match for Avtomobilist to turn the series around. If it becomes 3:1 in Magnitka’s favor and the next game is in Magnitogorsk, it will be practically impossible to come back. Avtomobilist play with character, you can feel a good atmosphere in the team (one for all), plus home ice.... Show more

No matter how one feels about Nikitin's system and his stifling defensive hockey. But it must be admitted that Lokomotiv completely shut down Chelyabinsk's leaders; it was only Fucale who stood out in terms of performance. There is no point in dragging this out. The advantage is entirely on Lokomoti... Show more

In the matchup, a hard-fought battle in the neutral zone is most likely expected. The opponents will devote considerable time to defensive play and will be extremely cautious so as not to make a stupid mistake that could lead to defeat. We believe that this matchup will also not produce a goal-scori... Show more

Against Lokomotiv's "stifling," defense-oriented hockey, or rather Nikitin's, Zavarukhin's Traktor did not look bad — I mean at the start of the match. It was very uncomfortable for the highly skilled Lokomotiv Yaroslavl against Traktor Chelyabinsk's forceful, brazen, creative offense. I am sure tha... Show more

Buffalo does not particularly need anything from a tournament perspective. Theoretical chances of making the playoffs still exist, but in reality such a scenario is practically impossible. Washington has lost its last two games and allowed Detroit to draw level with the Capitals on points in the bat... Show more

West Ham and Tottenham are the teams whose matches have seen the most goals scored. Both teams have shown high-scoring form. At present, 23 goals in West Ham's last 5 matches and 17 goals in Tottenham's last 5 matches in the Premier League. Moreover, active play starts from the first minutes, especi... Show more

Matches involving Villarreal are the highest-scoring in La Liga, a very entertaining team. Atlético are fifth in this aspect, also with a decent figure (3.03 goals per game). The teams also regularly score in their head-to-head meetings — in recent years, they have drawn 2:2 only 3 times. The teams'... Show more

For Leeds, every match is like the last one; they are leading the table. They are trying very hard to remain in the direct qualification zone for the Premier League. Obviously, they will be highly motivated, and they are quite capable of winning — as of today, the visitors are objectively stronger i... Show more

Throughout the playoffs, Lokomotiv Yaroslavl look more confident. The Railwaymen took the lead in the series against Avangard Omsk from the very first game. The coaching change helped Avangard Omsk extend the series through sheer determination, but problems in their play remain. For now, Avangard Om... Show more

The Capitals are more motivated than ever, as shown by their last month of play. They continue to fight for 8th place. Yesterday, the Jets were blown out on the road by the Islanders, losing 6-3, and today the team is playing its second game in 24 hours, also on the road. But this is still Winnipeg,... Show more

Well, Avto has no weak points, while SKA want to attack stylishly and beautifully, but keep running into the blue line like a wall. Avtik’s defense is excellent, along with confidence in attack. If this worked 3 times, what could change the high-skilled play of the Petersburg side today? Only if the... Show more

Washington are currently in decent form and are actively fighting for a place in the top 8. Two games in hand and 5 points behind, but I see absolutely no chance against Carolina. A very toothless game against Toronto, after which I doubt that the Caps will be able to take points from their visitors... Show more

I don't think there is much more to write here. A strong, well-organized, motivated Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. A team where all four lines are contributing, and the players can feel victory coming. Unfortunately, the respected Avangard Omsk have reached the current stage in disarray, with only one “workin... Show more
