Command Analysis
Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
Utah continues to struggle to qualify for the playoffs and is currently in 11th position in the East table. The Salt Lake team has earned 67 points in 64 games and is only three points behind Calgary, which occupies the last slot in the playoff zone. The debutants played one more game than the Canadians, but they are quite capable of reaching the leaders of the conference. At the start of the home series, Andre Turigny's team failed to put the squeeze on Toronto (3:4, B), although they managed to win back from the score of 0:3. Before that, Clayton Keller's squad played on the road against Chicago (3:4, OT) and Detroit (4:2).
The hosts have improved their offensive quality and have been scoring a lot lately. In the last five matches, they have managed to score at least three goals per game four times, while the newcomers scored 17 times in total. Clayton Keller remains the club's top scorer with 73 points (23+50), followed by Nick Schmalz, who scored only 50 goals (15+35).

Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
Anaheim is on the last line in the group of teams that are really fighting for entry into the playoffs in the West. The Ducks are currently ranked 12th in the conference and have 63 points after 64 matches. The Ducks played very well in the first half of the first half, but after returning to the ice after a break, they cannot get into the right shape. They are going on a guest tour after a not very successful home series. In California, Gren Cronin's team played against St. Louis (3:4), the Islanders (4:1) and Washington (4:7).
The visitors are consistently playing well offensively at this stage of the season, although they miss a lot themselves. In the last five matches, Anaheim scored 19 times, while only once failed to score at least three goals in a meeting. Troy Terry has recently returned to action after an injury. The American scored 48 points (17+31) and remains the team's offensive leader.
Disqualifications and injuries
Robbie Fabbri, Brock McGinn and Tomasz Suchanek will not help their partners in Salt Lake. John Gibson's involvement is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Ducks are thrown 27 times per game on average
- Ducks win 44.3% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three of the five matches with Anaheim, the first period was productive.
1.77Bet 3rd period: Anaheim will score
The Ducks have scored in the third period in the last seven games.
1.65Tip and bets
Utah has played well in recent matches, but has not always been successful. The Salt Lake team is often overestimated by bookmakers, but it does not justify its trust. Anaheim is in relatively good shape and is regularly scoring points during this stretch of the season, although it cannot produce a long winning streak. The ducks are doing well up front and are able to give the newcomers a fight. This season, the Ducks have not yet lost to the debutants in regular time. We offer a bet on the victory of the guests with a plus handicap.
Our prediction is that Anaheim will win with an Asian handicap (+1) in 1.92
Betting on an individual total
Anaheim was pretty good offensively at the beginning of March and scored quite a lot. Utah usually doesn't play so badly defensively, but lately the rookies have been missing quite a lot. All the games between the rivals turned out to be productive, so we expect the Ducks to make at least two or three accurate shots in Salt Lake.
Betting Tip - Anaheim's individual total is more than two goals in 1.62
Bet on the total
The teams played three meetings with each other and all of them were extremely productive. In the regular season, the opponents played a match at each of the venues, and eight goals were scored in both games during the regular season. We think that even now neither side will sit on its side of the ice and the match will be bright. Let's bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.80
