LiontipsDallas vs Chicago. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 19, 2021).
Command Analysis
Dallas are slumping at the moment. They lost five games in a row, all of them in regulation. Most of the matches the Stars played away from home, but in Dallas they didn't look convincing either. For example, at home the Stars were crushed by St. Louis with a score of 1:4. Their goalie Oettinger managed to save only 86% of the shots on goal. The reverse match with the Blues ended with the same result.
Chicago haven't been able to earn point consistently either. The Blackhawks celebrated two hard-earned victories over Washington (5:4 OT and 4:3 SO), and also outplayed the Islanders (3:2 ОТ), but could't avoid crushing defeats. In the last game, Chicago were devastated by the Rangers at home (2:6), and once again Fleury had a poor game and saved only 82% of the shots.
