Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
It might have seemed that Vancouver had started another protracted recession, as the team abruptly began to show itself from the worst side, interrupting its winning streak. The Canucks played at home, where they were defeated by a clear favorite in the person of Dallas with a score of 1:4. What is especially noteworthy is that the opponent made only 19 shots in three periods, but it turned out to be enough. Goalkeeper Lankinen was unable to cope with his main task, and the attacking line did not compensate for this disadvantage. A similar situation arose in the next match against Montreal. Once again, the killer whales created a sufficient number of dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, but this led to a defeat (2:4).
Nevertheless, the wards of Tokket were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, playing as a guest in Calgary. Due to the efforts of all the players of the first link, it was possible to put the game into overtime, and as a result, to gain the upper hand in the shootout (4:3). In particular, it is worth praising striker Pettersson, who scored the puck and provided an assist. Thanks to this victory, the club was able to retain its place in the playoff zone, but there was no advantage over its closest rival.
Disqualifications and injuries
Juulsen will definitely not play in the upcoming match. Demko, Myers, and Pettersson are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Vancouver concedes three goals per match.
- The Canucks average 25.5 shots per game.
Chicago Blackhawks
USACurrent form
Chicago continues its away series, which has not been going well so far. In the first match, the team faced Nashville and was able to impose a decent fight on it, but still suffered an insulting defeat in overtime (2:3). There was a little lack of activity in the attack. Even despite the lost points, it's worth praising goalkeeper Cederblom, who managed to get a single point. However, the relative success of the club came to an end. Visiting Colorado, they did not manage to score a single goal at all, losing dry (0:3).
It seemed that Sorensen's wards would be able to at least give a decent rebuff to an opponent of their level, in the person of San Jose, but this did not happen. Once again, serious defensive problems arose, and the attacking line could not compensate for this shortcoming, which led to the third setback in a row (2:4). Goalkeeper Knight did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 87% of shots. It is worth noting that at the moment the team occupies the penultimate place in the Western Conference table and no longer has any chance of reaching the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossois and Weber will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Chicago is averaging 3.5 goals per game.
- On average, the team makes only 24 shots per match.

1.50Tip and bets
Vancouver got a great opportunity to earn important points for themselves. The team is still fighting for a place in the playoff zone, and any victory is of great importance to the Canucks. The killer whales obviously won't underestimate their competitor and will try to play to their full potential, which will be a serious problem for Chicago, which is currently in terrible shape and inferior even to rivals of its own level. We believe that the owners of the ice will take advantage of their competitor's problems and gain the upper hand.
Our betting tip is that Vancouver will win in 1.75
Bet on the total
Although Vancouver is not very effective offensively, the team has every chance to show its potential in the upcoming match, given Chicago's terrible defensive performance. Indeed, the hawks cannot cope with the pressure of their opponents and try to rehabilitate themselves at the expense of the attacking line, which leads to a large number of abandoned goals.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.97
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Vancouver, with the support of its home crowd, must prove itself at its best and create serious problems for Chicago from the first minutes of the match. We believe that the hosts, due to their superiority over the competition, will gain an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
The betting tip is a victory for Vancouver in the first period in 2.31
