Command Analysis
Chicago Blackhawks
USACurrent form
Chicago is showing very weak results this season as a whole. The team is struggling to achieve the desired result, which is why it has already lost all chances of reaching the playoffs. At the moment, the team occupies the penultimate place in the Western Conference table, with an advantage over San Jose by only two points. The main problem of the club remains its very low performance in attack, and even the arrival of the super-talented Bedard has not corrected this shortcoming. At the same time, the hawks cannot boast of a reliable defensive game, which together leads to failures.
The Blackhawks have been on the decline for a long time and have been unable to succeed for five consecutive games. What is especially noteworthy is that most of them had to suffer defeats from Columbus (1:5), Toronto (2:5) and Vegas (5:7). Nevertheless, Chicago was able to pull itself together and interrupted this series of failures, playing away from Anaheim, where it showed its attacking potential to the fullest and left no chance for the Ducks (6:3). Forwards Teryavainen and Donato showed a great game, scoring three goals apiece. The club was able to consolidate its success on the home arena, where, to the great surprise of all hockey fans, they managed to defeat the Kings with a four-goal difference (5:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossois, Dickinson, Foligno and Kurashev remain in the infirmary.

Ottawa Senators
CanadaCurrent form
Ottawa's decline has already dragged on very much, and in seven matches the team has managed to win only one victory. The Senators had a three-match home series, which they started badly and were defeated by Montreal in the first match (2:5). Goalkeeper Ulmark showed his worst side, he had to be replaced in the middle of the second period after another missed goal. Next, the team fought with the current leader of the Western Conference, Winnipeg, and also expectedly lost (1-4). Nevertheless, in the final match of the home series, the Senators pulled themselves together and coped with an opponent of their level, in the person of San Jose, gaining the upper hand with a score of 5:3.
Next, Green's wards went to visit another clear favorite, in the person of Washington. Everything was heading for defeat in regular time, but Ottawa unexpectedly equalized a minute before the final whistle and moved the game into overtime, and as a result suffered an insulting defeat in a shootout (4:5). Overall, this season is not going well for the Senators. At the moment, the club is on the tenth line in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is only one point.

1.50Tip and bets
Both teams simultaneously began to recover from the slump and cling to the points. Chicago defeated the clear favorite in the last match, which is very rare. In the upcoming match, the hawks will once again play on the home arena, but despite this, the bookmakers do not believe in their success at all and give the hosts a huge coefficient to win, which we suggest taking advantage of. Indeed, the Senators are superior to their competitor in all respects, but due to their form, the hawks can give battle.
Our betting tip is that Chicago will win with a handicap of (+1.5) goals in 1.70
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Both teams have been consistently pleasing fans with their productive hockey lately, and it's unlikely that anything will change in such a short time. So we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.77
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Chicago hasn't lost much in the opening stretch lately. The team is confident in the first period, and the home walls will help the club create problems for its competitor at the start of the match.
Betting Tip - Chicago won't lose in the first period in 1.51
