LiontipsCalgary vs Chicago. NHL match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Calgary started the new season on a great note. The team from Canada intends to return to the top of the Western Conference after the failure in the last draw. Ryan Huska charges started with a victory in Vancouver (6:5, OT), after which they confidently beat Philadelphia (6:3) on home ice. In the last game, the "lights" crushed the finalists from Edmonton in their arena (4:1). Now the club from the province of Alberta is in second place in the Western Conference standings and shares the lead with three other teams.
The Flames have a lot going for them offensively. In just three games, they have scored 16 accurate shots, which is an average of 5.33 per game. The Flames' top scorer to date is Jonathan Huberdeau. The forward has scored five points (3+2) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kevin Rooney and Egor Sharangovich won't be able to help the Flames.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Calgary shot 29 times per game
The hosts didn't take many shots, but they were able to convert almost every sixth one.

The Canadians are not performing well at the point yet and are losing duels very often.
Current form
Chicago will once again try to at least fight for a playoff spot. The team from Illinois was one of the worst in defense last season, and they weren’t so successful in attack either. Luke Richardson’s men started with a setback in Utah (2:5), after which they came to Canada and lost to Winnipeg (1:2, OT), but still scored points. In the last game, the Blackhawks were able to surprise hockey fans and confidently won in Edmonton (5:2).
Teuvo Teräväinen remains the American team top scorer. The Finnish forward moved from Carolina in the offseason and has already become one of the Hawks' leaders. The forward has scored five points (3+2) in the goal+pass system.

Leon Brossoit and Artem Levshunov will not play today.

1.37Tip and bets
We think that Calgary will dominate the opponent again and will not allow Chicago to find its hockey. It is not without reason that the Flames are one of the leaders in the West and score a lot. The Hawks still have the same problems in defense, so it is unlikely that the Blackhawks will be able to hold off the Canadians. We believe that the Flames will score another two points. We suggest betting on the first victory in the match.
Prediction - Calgary wins the match for 1.63
Total Bet
Calgary has been playing well at the start of the season and is excellent at converting chances. The team from Canada scores more than five goals per game on average. Chicago can hardly be called a club that plays closed hockey. We believe that there will be at least seven accurate shots in this match.
We take the total over six pucks with a coefficient of 1.93
Bet on individual total
The Flames have picked up a crazy pace and are playing very well on offense. Chicago was one of the worst teams in defense throughout last season and it is unlikely that the Hawks will concede few goals in the new regular season. We believe that the Canadians will score at least four times.
We bet on Calgary individual total of more than three goals for 1.75
