LiontipsDetroit - Utah: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Krylia dropped to the ninth place in the conference and left the playoff zone in the East. The Michigan State team has 66 scoring points after 61 matches, and they share the last slot in the top eight with the Rangers, losing only in additional indicators. After a shock start to winter, Dylan Larkin's squad slowed down in terms of quality of play and lost five out of seven meetings. Coming off the break, Detroit scored points in three consecutive games, but then lost twice to Columbus (2:5 and 3:5), and returning home lost to Carolina (1:2). The hosts could not break through the Hurricanes goalkeeper for a long time and scored the only goal only in the middle of the third period, which did not allow them to catch on to a positive result.
After the change of coach, the Red Wings improved a lot in attack, but scored only 13 goals in the last five games. The Wings average 2.9 goals per match per season, but they feel much better offensively in the second half of the regular season. Lucas Raymond remains the team's top scorer with 63 points (22+41).
Alex Lyon appeared on the ice in the game against Carolina and was pretty good. This season, the American copes with only 90.33% of shots and loses the competition to Cam Talbo. The veteran is constantly at the start, but after the failure in the outdoor match against the Blue Jackets, the Detroit coaching staff decided to give the Canadian a little time to rest.
Disqualifications and injuries
Andrew Kopp, Mikael Rasmussen and Jack Petrie will not play against the rookies.
Interesting betting trends
- Detroit scores 2.90 goals on average.
The Wings improved in offense after the change of coach and reached acceptable offensive performance.
- The Red Wings are thrown only 27 times per game.
Todd McLellan's men don't throw too much at the opponents' goal and try to play the puck right.
Current form
Utah is on the 11th line in the conference and only recently lost its place in the top ten to competitors from St. Louis. Clayton Keller's squad scored 63 points in 61 games and is four points behind Calgary. At the same time, there are two more teams between her and the Canadians, so the newcomers need to show strong results to win the fight for the playoffs. Since the beginning of February, the team under the command of Andre Turigny has been showing quite strong results. The debutants won at home against Vancouver (2:1), Chicago (2:1) and Minnesota (6:1), but could not deal with New Jersey (1:3). The Devils tied the guest leaders hand and foot and did not allow anything to be created at their gates.
Playing offensively is not the strength of the newcomers, who score only 2.82 goals per match on average in the regular season. The captain and team leader is close to becoming one of the top ten most productive hockey players in the league with 69 points (22+47) in the goal+pass system. He is followed by Logan Cooley (17+30) and Nick Schmaltz (12+35), who scored 47 points each.
Utah has been very good on its side of the ice lately and missed quite a bit in February. The red light outside the visitors' goal was lit only 11 times in the last five games, and Karel Veimelka has definitely become the number one in the squad. The Czech goalkeeper blocked 91.01% of shots and pushed the unstable Connor Ingram onto the bench.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders are ready to come to Michigan. The participation of Nick Bjugstad and Michael Carcone is currently in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Utah is conceding 2.97 goals per game on average this season.
The rookies are playing well defensively at this stage of the season, but in general they often make mistakes on their side of the ice.
- The Salt Lake club throws 28 times per game on average.
The guests don't shoot at their opponents too often and prefer to play from their own goal.
Trends
Bet period 2: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four of the five matches involving Detroit, the second period was productive.
1.55Bet 3rdperiod: Detroit will score
The Red Wings scored in the third period in four of their six games.
1.45Tip and bets
Detroit has lost three meetings in a row and it's time for the hosts to pull themselves together. Todd McLellan's men began to fail defensively more often and could not compensate for this with a strong offensive game. Utah doesn't score as many goals and feels much better at home than away. Debutants were constantly missing in large numbers throughout February, so Krylia has a great chance to break the series of failures. We think that the team from the state of Michigan will play the first number and will be able to get two points. We offer a bet on the victory of the Reds with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is that Detroit willwinwith an Asian handicap (0) in 1.90
Betting on an individual total
Detroit shouldn't have any problems attacking in the match against Utah, because the debutants concede three goals per match. Krylia has not been the club with the weakest attack in the conference for a long time and has been showing good momentum for a long time. We believe that Dylan Larkin's squad will calmly score at least three goals against the opponent.
Prediction - Detroit's individual total is over 2.5 goals in 1.67
Bet on the total
Utah is trying to play from its own goal, but the Salt Lake club is unable to do so on the road. Andre Turigny's players miss quite a lot on a visit and they will have to open up in a duel against Detroit. The wings have long since stopped hiding in defense and are running forward from the first minutes. In our opinion, the teams will easily score at least five goals between them.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.75
