Command Analysis

Chicago Blackhawks

Current form
Chicago was in terrible shape for a long time, but still managed to break its losing streak, which reached five matches in a row. The Hawks played away to Anaheim, where they showed all their power in attack, defeating the Ducks with a score of 6:3. Forwards Teryavainen and Donato showed a great game, scoring three goals apiece. Returning to the home arena, the team only consolidated its success, leaving no chance for Los Angeles and winning a landslide victory with a four-goal difference (5:1), which came as a big surprise to many.
However, the club was unable to continue performing in the same spirit. In the next home game against Ottawa, there were expected defensive problems. Chicago was able to make a comeback, equalizing the score in the third period, but eventually lost in overtime (3:4). Indeed, goalkeeper Söderblom proved himself to be the worst, reflecting only 84% of the shots. It is worth noting that the points scored did not affect the team's position in the Western Conference table, and it continues to remain on the second line.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossois and Dickinson will definitely not be able to play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Chicago is averaging 2.77 goals per game.
- The Blackhawks receive an average of 8.4 penalty minutes per game.

Utah Hockey Club

Current form
Utah has been in great shape for a long time and consistently earns points. In five matches, the team suffered only one defeat, and all other meetings ended in regular time. The team played at home, where they first easily defeated Vancouver (2:1) and Chicago (2:1), and then completely defeated the clear favorite in the face of Minnesota (6:1). The entire offensive line showed a great game, and the most productive player was the first-line forward Kler, who scored the puck and provided as many as four assists.
However, in the final home match, the club still broke its winning streak. Utah hosted New Jersey and proved unable to once again show its full attacking potential, which led to a 1-3 defeat. Weimelk's goalkeeper also did not play well, reflecting less than 90% of the shots. The team was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans and regain the lost points away from Detroit, where it won a landslide victory with a score of 4:2. This time it is difficult even to single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only two players remain in question: Bjugstad and Bortuzzo.
Interesting betting trends
- Utah concedes an average of three goals per game.
- On average, the team makes 28 shots per match.

1.92Tip and bets
As you can see, Utah is in amazing shape and seems to be clearly aiming for a place in the playoff zone, and the gap from the eighth position has been reduced to three points. The team obviously won't stop and will try to take advantage of the opportunity given to it and earn extra points in a duel with a clear outsider. Indeed, at the moment Chicago looks much weaker than its competitor, which means that we suggest betting in favor of the guests for an excellent coefficient.

Betting on the outcome of the first period
Still, we must not forget the fact that Chicago will be playing at home, where, with the support of the fans, it may well create problems for Utah at the start of the match. We believe that the owners of the ice, at least, will not lose in the opening segment.
