Command Analysis

Chicago Blackhawks

Current form
Chicago has completed a five-game road series that did not start off well for the team. In the first game, they had to face the clear favorite, Dallas, and lost 2-4. As expected, the Hawks were unable to play on target against such a powerful opponent, and only managed to make 24 shots on goal. However, in the next game, the team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, unexpectedly defeating Colorado (5-2). The shots were very effective, and in particular, it is worth praising striker Donato, who scored twice and also made an assist. It seemed that after such a confident victory, Richardson team would leave no chance for San Jose, but this did not happen, and the game ended in an offensive defeat (2-3).
But that was the end of Chicago misfortunes. The team went to visit Los Angeles, where they regained their lost points, snatching victory in a shootout (4:3). The hero of the match was forward Bertuzzi, who tied the score just 30 seconds before the final whistle. The Hawks were able to consolidate their success in the match with Anaheim, winning their second victory in a row for the first time this season (4:2). This time, forward Bedard made a huge contribution to the result, giving three assists, as well as goalkeeper Soderblom, who blocked 38 shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Chicago Blackhawks' infirmary remains unchanged. The team continues to play without goaltender Laurent Brossoit and defenseman Alex Martinez.
Interesting trends for betting

The Blackhawks continue to have problems playing shorthanded, constantly allowing opponents to take advantage of the extra man on the ice.
- The Hawks average 2.8 goals per game.
Chicago still can't get their offensive game going and suffers from low scoring.

Detroit Red Wings

Current form
After an unsuccessful away game with Buffalo and a 3:5 defeat, Detroit returned to their home arena, where they continued to lose points. The team met with Edmonton and was one step away from victory, but allowed the opponent to tie the score in the third period, and then lost in overtime (2:3). The Red Wings tried to contain the opponent pressure as much as possible, but they failed to do so, and the Wings themselves made only 26 shots on goal, which, of course, was not enough for victory. Continuing to play at home, Lalonde charges suffered a complete rout from Winnipeg (2:6). This time, goalie Lyon stood in goal, but he did not play reliably enough, reflecting only 79% of the shots. And in general, the club looked very unconvincing, creating few dangerous moments in the Jets zone.
Detroit managed to break its losing streak, winning the return match against Buffalo (2:1). However, it is worth noting that this time the team also looked weak and mainly relied on the defensive line, and the Wings were able to achieve success only due to the use of a numerical advantage and two goals scored by forward Larkin. In general, the Red Wings have not shown themselves in the best way this season and are currently only in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Remarkably, Detroit has no problems with its roster. Only goalkeeper Jack Campbell and forward Tyler Mott will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting

Last season, the Red Wings had a very productive offensive game, which has disappeared without a trace.
- On average, the Wings receive eight penalty minutes per match.
The Red Wings are known for their good discipline and rarely break the rules.

1.44Tip and bets
Chicago is currently in excellent shape, which means it has every chance to continue earning points when it returns to its home arena, and its home walls will help the team in this. Indeed, the Red Wings have been experiencing serious problems since the very beginning of the season, which is primarily due to low offensive performance. It is difficult to say when the Wings will recover after an unsuccessful start to the season, but so far there are no prerequisites for this. So we suggest taking advantage of the unreasonably high odds and betting in favor of the Hawks.
Our prediction is a Chicago victory with a handicap of (0) at 2.09

In the first period, Chicago, thanks to the home advantage, has every chance to give Detroit a worthy rebuff and will not allow it to gain an advantage in the starting period.
