Command Analysis
Chicago Blackhawks
USACurrent form
Chicago continues to be in terrible shape since the very beginning of the season and cannot start earning points consistently. In five games, the team has won only one victory, unexpectedly snatching victory from Minnesota in overtime. They managed to achieve success mainly due to the efforts of the defensive line, as well as goalkeeper Mrazek, who reflected 32 shots out of 33. After a home victory over the clear favorite, the Hawks went to play on the road, where they were unable to consolidate the result, suffering a defeat to Seattle (1:3). Once again, there were huge difficulties both in creating and in realizing moments in attack, and the team made a total of 19 shots on goal.
The Blackhawks then traveled to Vancouver and failed to capitalize on their attacking opportunities, which led to a crushing defeat (1:4). This time, the defensive line was also unable to cope with the very powerful pressure of the opponent. Due to such weak performances, Chicago continues to be in the last place in the Western Conference standings, with only 13 points. The Hawks' main problem remains their terrible attacking play, with the club scoring an average of only 2.38 goals per game.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Chicago infirmary remains unchanged. Brossoit and Jones will again be out of action for the upcoming game.
Interesting trends for betting
- Chicago averages 27 shots per game
The main reason for the club defeats remains very low activity in attack, which does not allow them to compensate for the failures in defense.
- The Hawks allowed 12 goals while shorthanded
The team also has problems playing shorthanded and often allows opponents to take advantage of their numerical superiority.
Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
Anaheim still managed to finish the home series on a good note. After four losses in a row, the Ducks met with Columbus and broke the losing streak, winning confidently with a score of 4:2. This time, the club performance was at its best, it is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. The team was unable to consolidate the success, since a much more powerful opponent in the person of Vegas stood in the way. But in this match, they managed to impose a worthy fight, losing by a difference of only one goal (2:3). Despite the defeat, it is worth praising the efforts of goalie Dostal, who reflected 36 shots, which allowed him to avoid a complete failure.
The Ducks then played Detroit and once again showed their attacking potential to the fullest, which allowed them to win again (6:4). This time, defenseman Zellweger was the most productive, scoring a goal and making two assists. After the end of the home series, Cronin team went to visit another clear favorite, Dallas, and unexpectedly snatched another victory with a difference of two goals (4:2). Forward Leeson showed a great game, scoring a goal and making two assists.
Disqualifications and injuries
It worth noting that Anaheim still has serious roster problems. Fabbri, Fowler, MacTavish and Susanek are still in the infirmary. Vaakanainen is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Anaheim scores 2.5 goals per game.
The Ducks have struggled with scoring for much of the season.
- The Ducks converted just 15% of their power play attempts.
Due to weak attacking play, the team cannot even capitalize on their numerical advantage.

1.50Tip and bets
Chicago will have a hard time again in the upcoming match. It would seem that the team will meet an opponent of its level and have a chance of success, but, as luck would have it, Anaheim has gained form and has begun to cope even with obvious favorites, and playing away. The Hawks cannot boast of such results and have been experiencing big problems throughout the regular championship, rarely showing their best side. What is especially noteworthy is that home walls do not help the team achieve success. Despite all the factors, bookmakers give a huge coefficient for the victory of the guests, which is definitely worth taking advantage of.
Our prediction is Anaheim victory in the match at 2.31
Bet on total
Still, you shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored in the upcoming match. Both teams have shown very low offensive performance throughout the season, and it unlikely that anything will change significantly in such a short period.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.77
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Anaheim, having come to its senses and started to show excellent play, has every chance to create serious problems for Chicago already in the first period. We believe that the team, at a minimum, will not lose in the starting segment, which is what we suggest betting on.
Prediction - Anaheim will not lose in the first period for 1.50
