The Ducks are more competitive in their second season under coach Greg Cronin, with a minus-19 goal differential through 37 games. They’re starting to close the gap between shots on goal and against, and their five-on-five play is improving, but their special teams remain horrid. They’re winning close games lately. 79%
The Bruins have improved under interim coach Joe Sacco, are in a playoff position, and are tighter defensively. David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand are playing better, but their start under previous coach Jim Montgomery is affecting their season. Every point matters. 87%
The Sabres are disappointing, with a 13-game winless streak putting them last in the Eastern Conference. They’re on pace for a significant step back from last season. 32%
The Flames have shown some positive signs, with their young players like Dustin Wolf, Connor Zary, and Matthew Coronato taking steps forward. Jonathan Huberdeau is also having a better season, but they still need to make decisions for their rebuild/retool. 75%
