The NHL Metropolitan Division has two of the weakest teams in the league such as Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders, which will clash next Tuesday at 05:00 pm CST. This confrontation will provide both teams with an opportunity to remain alive in the competition, however the most logical is that neither of them have any chance of competing for the Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference.
On the one hand, Pittsburgh Penguins hold a streak of 4 victories in a row, in which they were able to defeat some competitive teams like Vegas Golden Knights and New Jersey Devils. In that matter, those victories allowed them to reduce their gap to the Wild Card spots to just 6 points, however they remain as the worst defensive line in the Eastern Conference after conceding 250 goals throughout the season.
On the other hand, New York Islanders recently broke with a negative streak of 3 losses in a row after their most recent victory over Florida Panthers (4-2), a result that was totally unexpected due to the very poor offensive level they’ve displayed this season, as they currently remark as the worst offensive line in the Eastern Conference with 179 scored goals, a very low number that limit their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
