LiontipsChicago vs Edmonton. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 1, 2022).
Command Analysis
Chicago are slumping. The team is on a seven-game losing streak, and almost all of those games ended in regulation. The Blackhawks only put up a fight against Montreal, but still lost in a penalty shootout (2:3 SO). Chicago couldn't fight off Winnipeg at home and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 2:7. Goalie Mrazek saved only 84% of the shots he faced. One of the main reasons for such disappointing results in poor offensive performance - the team average 2.5 goals per game.
Edmonton, despite a long list of injured players, seem to have found their form. First, they got a narrow-margin victory over the Rangers (4:3) in New York. Forward McLeod had a good game and provided three assists. Back at their home arena, the Oilers celebrated success over Florida (4:3 OT). Edmonton leveled the score five seconds before the final siren and then snatched a win in overtime.
