LiontipsChicago vs Colorado. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 5, 2022).
Command Analysis
Chicago continue suffering one defeat after another. In the last match, they were crushed by Calgary (1:5). The defensive line of the Blackhawks couldn't withhold the onslaught of the Flames and allowed them to create too many chances.
Before that, the Hawks traveled to Nashville, where they couldn't do anything against the Preds (1:6). Chicago's goalie Delia had a woeful game and was substituted off in the second period.
Colorado lost their five-game winning streak, having suffered a unexpected defeat to Nashville (2:5). Goaltender Francouz wasn't reliable in that game and managed to save only 88% of the shots.
The Avalanche are much more successful at home. For example, in the last home game, they recorded a confident victory over Anaheim (4:2). Each player of the first line chalked up a point in that game.
