Chicago vs Vegas: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Chicago still can't start earning points consistently, and the losing streak has already reached four games in a row. In the first game, the team played away, where they met Detroit, which was in great shape. Once again, the Hawks had huge problems in defense, which the opponent took advantage of. As a result, they had to suffer a defeat with a score of 3:5. Once again, goalie Mrazek showed himself to be insufficiently reliable, reflecting only 84% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the team met with Edmonton and was able to create serious difficulties for them at the beginning of the match, earning an advantage of two goals. But it was impossible to cope with the pressure of such a powerful competitor, and he not only tied the score, but also took the lead, which led to another defeat (3:4). The forwards of the first link Mikheyev and Bedard showed themselves from the worst side, and their effective actions were not enough for the victory.

Next, the Hawks hosted Calgary on the road and also showed a very weak game in defense, suffering a rout (2:5). This time, goalkeeper Mrazek reflected only 86% of the shots. Sorensen charges were able to cling to points only on the road to Nashville, where, thanks to the excellent play of goalkeeper Soderblom, they managed to transfer the game to overtime. In extra time, the winner was also undecided, but in the shootout, Chicago was a little less lucky, which led to the fourth defeat in a row (2:3). The club continues to be the main disappointment of the Western Conference. It seemed that with the arrival of the talented Bedard, the team would somehow begin to fight for a place in the playoffs, but so far the chances of getting into the top 8 are critically small, because the club is in the last line, having only 31 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Brossoit will definitely not be able to take part in the upcoming fight. Smith and Murphy are also questionable.
