LiontipsDetroit vs Chicago. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Detroit occupies the last line of the standings, but recently have significantly improved their results and even extended their winning streak to three games. Wings have not done anything like that yet this season. They beat Carolina in the away game with the scores of 5:4 (B) and 3:1, respectively, and defeated Chicago at home (4:1). At the same time, Jeff Blashill's squad use their attacking chances and do not concede a lot. In the last two fixtures, they allowed the rivals to score only once in a game. At this pace, Detroit may well qualify for the play-off.
Chicago planned to fight for the playoffs this season, but they haven't been showing stable results. Because of this, the team often loses points in the matches that they simply have to win. Hawks are in fifth place in the Central Division with 45 points, four points behind Nashville.
We remind you that the team of Jeremy Colliton, before losing to Detroit, won two away games against Columbus (4:3 and 4:3 OT), respectively. As guests, Chicago haven't impressed with their performance and have prevailed only in four matches out of 23 in regular time, conceding more than three goals on average.

Tip and bets
Chicago need to score points in the second leg if they really want to fight Nashville for the spot in the playoffs. Hawks have beaten Detroit more than once this season and have never allowed themselves to lose to Detroit in two games in a row. We think that the guests will be stronger.
Our prediction is Chicago to win at 2.10.
Detroit has recently played strong in defense and conceded few goals, but Hawks also usually do not concede more than two goals in face-to-face matches against Wings. We think that less than six goals will be scored in the upcoming game.
Take total under 5.5 goals at 1.97 odds.
