LiontipsCarolina vs Chicago. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 7, 2021).
Command Analysis
Carolina are still the leader of the division with 79 points. The team will most probably remain in the first place, so they can afford some experiments in the remaining games. Carolina are in great form and are on a five-game winning streak.
In the previous matches against Chicago, the Hurricanes won twice (5:2 and 6:3). Rod Brind'Amour's charges feel comfortable in the attack. But if in the first case the victory was easy for Carolina and they scored several goals right at the start of the game, then in the return match they had to come back from 0:2, but they coped with this task anyway.
Chicago occupy the sixth line of the standings and have long lost their chances of advancing into the playoffs. The Blackhawks are in bad form right now and have lost six games in a row. The team experiences the most difficulties in the line of defense and concedes a lot - three or four goals per game on average.
Jeremy Colliton's squad show really weak results in away games: they only won five times in regulation time. In the current season, Chicago only earns two points in the games against outsiders, Detroit and Columbus.

Tip and bets
We believe that Carolina will be able to win this fixture. The Hurricanes have made good use of their attacking chances in past games, while Chicago allowed their opponent to act dangerously in their own zone. The Hurricanes are on a winning streak, and the Blackhawks have lost six consecutive games. We think that the choice is very clear.
Our prediction is Carolina to win.
In recent games, the teams were not afraid to play on a collision course. Given that Carolina have already secured first place in the table, they can afford to relax a little and play more openly. That is why we suggest betting on total over.
Our second wager is on total over 5.5 goals.
