Chicago - Pittsburgh: NHL match betting tip
Chicago will try to break its long losing streak again on April 7. The team will host far from the most serious opponent in the face of Pittsburgh, and our experts, in turn, will tell you more about the latest performances of the clubs, as well as help you determine the rates in the betting tip
Command Analysis
Chicago Blackhawks
USACurrent form
Chicago has not been able to achieve the desired result for five matches, and even the home walls have not helped the club to prove itself at its best. The team was experiencing huge problems in defense and simply could not compensate for them by being effective in attack. Thus, the Hawks did not cope with New Jersey (3:5), Vegas (3:5) and Utah (2:5). Only Colorado managed to impose a decent fight, losing in a shootout (2:3). It was possible to catch on to one point only due to goalkeeper Knight, who reflected 29 shots out of 31.
After a disastrous home series, the team went to visit the current leader of the Eastern Conference in Washington, where they expectedly lost again with a score of 3:5. This time, Knight failed his main task, deflecting only 85% of the shots. Indeed, the club has completely failed this season. At the moment, he is on the penultimate line in the Western Conference table and has not counted on getting into the playoffs for a long time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossois, Dickinson and Weber will definitely not play in the upcoming match. Dach and Martinez are also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Chicago is averaging 3.56 goals per game.
- On average, the Hawks make 27 shots on target.
Pittsburgh Penguins
USACurrent form
Pittsburgh has come to its senses after another slump and has been steadily earning points for three consecutive matches. The team broke a series of setbacks by playing at home, where they faced Ottawa and with great difficulty wrested Victoria away from her in overtime (1-0). The first star of the match was goalkeeper Jarry, who deflected 31 shots, thereby creating a shutout. Next, the Penguins went to play on the road, where they met with St. Louis and almost lost in regular time, but miraculously equalized the score just 30 seconds before the final whistle, and after that they still lost in overtime (4:5).
Few people could have expected that the Penguins would rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans visiting the clear favorite, in the person of Dallas. Sullivan's team showed a very effective offensive game, which made it possible to compensate for defensive failures and win a landslide victory with a score of 5:3. Forward Crosby showed his best side, scoring a hat trick and also giving an assist. However, it is worth noting that the club started earning points too late, as there was no chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Imama, Josev and Novakt will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries. Blomkvist is also in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Pittsburgh wins 52.9% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the team gets 6.87 minutes of penalty time per match.

1.45Tip and bets
It seems that Chicago will not recover until the end of the regular season and will continue to lose points from match to match. As we have already noted, home walls do not help the club achieve success, so you should not expect him to play confidently in the upcoming match either. Pittsburgh, in turn, has picked up a great pace and will try to maximize the series of points scored. We believe that the Penguins will be able to take advantage of their competitor's terrible form and defeat Chicago without any problems.
Our betting tip is a victory for Pittsburgh in 2.23
Bet on the total
Both teams have been playing terrible defense throughout the regular season and constantly conceding a lot of goals, trying to rehabilitate themselves at the expense of the offensive line. It is unlikely that anything will change dramatically, which means that we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.69
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Recently, Pittsburgh has been playing a great game in the first period and steadily gaining an advantage at the end of the opening period. Given Chicago's terrible form, the visitors can again create serious problems for the Hawks in the opening stretch.
Prediction - Pittsburgh wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.74
