Freddie Juarez’s guys ended up outside the playoff zone, all because of a terrible game. The team cannot recover after the restart of the season and something needs to be done about this problem. Real Salt Lake played many matches after the return of the championship, but during all that time they celebrated the victory only once. In the last meeting the team generally lost large to Minnesota (0-4). The club was under the pressure of the rival all the time, so everything is on business. The Utah team clearly needs to improve, as a number of competitors are breathing in the back and the defeat in the next meeting can greatly affect the standings.
The Islanders are a very diligent team that have tremendous willpower and are certainly not broken by defeat in the first match. Barry Trotz is an incredibly experienced coach who must have words for his players, and he is also capable of choosing a competent game plan. We would like to emphasize that the Islanders, even in the last matches with Philadelphia, played unstably in defense and conceded four or five goals, although in the final meeting they played to zero. The head coach said that in the first game he had no complaints about the dedication of the players and stated that they simply did not use their chances. Also, Trots is sure that the hockey players will go to the second meeting even more “hungry” and more “angry” in a sporty way. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
