Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pennsylvanians were regular participants in cup battles for a long time, but this series broke last season when they failed to make the playoffs. Then, the failure in the last game with Chicago sent the Penguins on an early holiday, but now, the chances of participating in the Stanley Cup have been lost long ago. They made their last attempt to get closer to the competition in late February, winning three straight, but in the next 14 games, they allowed 11 defeats. Such a poor stretch has sent the Black-and-Yellow to 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Carolina Hurricanes

Carolina has been playing the opposite scenario in recent years. For a long time, the Hurricanes were hopeless underdogs in the league, then they started to climb into the playoffs, and now they have turned into Stanley Cup contenders. They've been especially strong in the second half of the current regular season, and they're in great shape for the start of the cup battles. In the last 11 games, the Redblacks have only once been held scoreless, losing to the Rangers 0:1; once more, they lost to Washington in a shootout - 6:7, and in the nine remaining battles were exclusively victories. The team now sits in third place in the Eastern Conference standings, just one point behind the leader.

Expert Betting Tips

Pittsburgh and Carolina approach the head-to-head confrontation, being in a completely different shape. The Pennsylvanians have already lost their chances of making the playoffs, so finding the proper motivation to fight in every game is problematic. All this has led to 11 defeats in their last 14 games. The Hurricanes, on the other hand, have an ongoing battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference, which they are happy to be a part of because they are in great shape. In 11 previous games, they have scored 19 of a possible 22 points.
