Maccabi started its way in the Champions League qualification back in mid-August. The first rival was Riga. The team of Yorgos Donis knocked the Latvians out of the tournament without any problems, sending them two unanswered goals. Suduva got one more goal in the next round. The yellows beat them away. In the last round Maccabi had a more serious rival, but there were no special problems with it. Yellow players sent one goal to the gates of Brest Dynamo, but it was enough to pass.
Dallas are confidently moving towards their dream and for the second time in this Stanley Cup, they have developed a streak to four wins. Recall that before that, with a difference of one goal in three games in a row, the team dealt with Vegas. Most likely, the “Stars” benefited from a rather long break, during which they managed to more or less fully recover and their superiority in speed was noticeable in the two starting periods. They took advantage of this and scored three goals, but in the final game segment they scored a goal only in an empty net. Anton Khudobin showed himself excellently again, reflecting 35 shots. Now he is the top contender for the best goalkeeper prize in the playoffs. Rick Bowness was pleased with the Sheriffs’ hockey and noted at the post-match press conference that they “did a lot of things right.” Despite not very strong defense, Dallas, indeed, blocked often shots, but at the same time always tried to take the game away from their goal. The less the team will allow the rival to master in its own zone, the more chances it will have to win the next victory. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
