Anaheim - Chicago: NHL match betting tip
Anaheim will play on March 2 at its home arena, where it will face Chicago. Both teams don't have particularly good results this season, but still, the Ducks, unlike the Blackhawks, are much more likely to cling to points. What kind of bets should I choose? You will find the answer in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
Anaheim started the away series with a win, but then faced setbacks. In the match against Los Angeles, the team led the score, but missed the decisive goal three minutes before the end of regular time. In the shootout, the Ducks pulled out a 2-1 victory thanks to the brilliant play of goalkeeper Dostal, who blocked 44 of 45 shots. The success in the match with Los Angeles inspired the club to defeat Boston, where the situation was repeated: the opponent equalized in the last minutes, but the guests won in extra time — 3:2. However, subsequent matches brought disappointment to Anaheim. In the game against Detroit, the team was unable to play reliably defensively, which led to a defeat in overtime — 4:5. Despite the fact that the Ducks compensated for their weak defense with an effective attack, this did not help them succeed. In the match with Buffalo, the team had a two—goal advantage after two periods, but could not hold it and lost in regular time - 2:3.
The team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans only by returning to the home arena, where they met with Vancouver. In the first period, the opponent took a significant two-goal advantage, but this only angered Anaheim, which allowed him not only to even the score, but to defeat the Canucks with a score of 5.:2. Indeed, the attacking line showed a great game, and in particular, it is worth praising the forwards of the first link Strom and Terry, who scored three effective actions each. So far, the club is only on the 12th line in the Western Conference table, but the gap from the playoff zone is not so great and is only five points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Anaheim continues to have problems with the roster. There are four players in the infirmary at once: McGinn, Zegras, Fabbri and Sushanek. Gibson is also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Anaheim gets 8.15 minutes of penalty time per match
Ducks are usually eliminated at least four times per game.
- On average, Anaheim scores 2.6 goals per game.
The club's attacking line has not been very effective this season.
Chicago Blackhawks
USACurrent form
In only one match with St. Louis, the hawks were able to impose a decent fight, but lost in a shootout with a score of 5:6. However, in the very next match with Columbus, the team suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 1:5. Goalkeeper Mrazek once again couldn't handle the pressure and deflected only 76% of the shots. After losing to Columbus, the team continued its series of setbacks, losing to Toronto with a crushing score of 2:5. The defensive line could not cope with the constant pressure of the obvious favorite and allowed him to enter his zone without problems.
After that, the club went to play on the road, where they met with Utah and finally were able to play more reliably. Goalkeeper Cederblom did a great job, deflecting 35 shots, but it did not help to achieve success. In just three periods, Chicago scored one goal, which was the main reason for the defeat with a score of 1:2. The hawks were able to play more actively and effectively in attack away from Vegas, where they conceded as many as five goals in the first period and counted on a comeback until the end of the meeting, which was close. But the defensive lapses did not go away, which did not allow the team to even the score, and as a result, they had to concede again in regular time (5:7). Indeed, the next season of Dax is very poorly conducted. At the moment, they occupy the penultimate place in the Western Conference table and no longer have any chance of reaching the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossois and Dickinson remain in the infirmary and will not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Foligno and Kurashev are also in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Chicago is averaging 2.6 goals per game.
One of the main problems of the club remains its very low performance in attack.
- The Hawks play more than 19 power plays per match
Anders Sorensen's players love contact hockey and don't give their opponents much free space.

1.50Tip and bets
Anaheim is looking much better than its opponent this season. Indeed, the Ducks can count on getting into the playoff zone, especially if they continue to consistently cling to points. The team simply does not have the opportunity to lose points in matches against such weak competitors as Chicago. The Hawks are in terrible shape at the moment. It's hard to say when the club will come to its senses and start pleasing the fans again, but so far there are no prerequisites for this. We believe that the owners of the ice will take advantage of this, and we are betting in their favor.
Our betting tip is an Anaheim victory in 2.14
Bet on the total
One of Chicago's main problems remains a very weak defensive game. The team constantly concedes a huge number of goals, which makes the matches with the participation of the club very productive. So, as a second bet, we suggest choosing a total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.80
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Anaheim is playing a great game at home, where it has not lost for five consecutive matches. Due to the advantage of their home walls, the club in this meeting will begin to create pressure on Chicago from the first minutes of the match and is quite capable of earning an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Anaheim wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.70
