Vancouver had an excellent four-game away streak in which they beat Ottawa (3:2 and 3:2). They also managed to beat Montreal (3:2). True, it was not possible to consolidate the result in the ousted match with the Canadiens. The Canucks lost after a shootout (4:5). Despite the defeat, goalkeeper Holtby should be commended for his chances of winning. Returning to their home arena, Kasatki suffered a crushing defeat at Winnipeg (0:4). This time, Demko stood at the gate, who turned out to be not so reliable. In the return leg with the Jets, Vancouver failed again to prove themselves, losing 1:5.
Lately, “Chicago” has been showing a terrible game. Billy Donovan’s players have lost four games in a row, losing to Utah (95-120), Cleveland (94-103), San Antonio (104-120) and Golden State (102-116). Despite recent setbacks, the Bulls continue to rank tenth in the East. But it will be very difficult to stay in these positions. All this is due to the fact that “Chicago” is not the main line-up. For example, they will most likely play this fight without Zach Avalanche and Cobie White. This is a significant loss for the Bulls.
