LiontipsColorado - Chicago: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Colorado is in excellent shape and is gradually improving its position in the Western Conference table. The Avalanche have scored 78 points in 64 games and are in fifth place. They are still very far from the division leaders and are six points behind Dallas, which is in second position. Since the beginning of spring, Jared Bednar's players have gained excellent form. They won their last five games in regular time, playing at home. In Denver, the Avalanche have already dealt with New Jersey (5:1), Minnesota (5:2), Pittsburgh (4:1), San Jose (7:3) and Toronto (7:4).
At this stage of the season, the hosts are showing phenomenal performance. They have scored 28 goals in the last five matches and scored at least four times in all of them. Nathan MacKinnon scored his hundredth point (27+73) this season in the last game and confidently leads the list of top scorers and assistants, being the main star in the team.

Gabi Landeskug and Tucker Pullman will not play against Chicago.

Current form
Chicago got off to a very weak start this season and now can only claim 14th or 13th place in the conference. Anders Sorensen's men are on the penultimate line in the West and have scored only 49 points in 64 matches. The visitors are in good shape right now and have managed to score points in the last five games. In the home series of matches, the Hawks clung to the result against Los Angeles (5:1), Ottawa (3:4, OT) and Utah (4:3, OT). At the start of the guest tour, Ryan Donato's squad lost in Tennessee (2:3, OT).
The Blackhawks were pretty good at realizing their moments in the early spring. They scored 24 goals in the last six games, which is an average of four per game. Connor Bedard remains the best member of the team, who scored 52 goals (17+35) using the goal+pass system. He beat Teuvo Teryavainen, who scored 50 points (15+35).

Leon Brossois, Jason Dickinson and Shea Weber will not come with the team to Denver.

Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three of the last four games with the Avalanche, the first period was productive.
1.63Bet 3rd period: Colorado will score
The Avalanche have scored in the third period in the last five games.
1.20Tip and bets
Colorado is in crazy shape and is showing phenomenal performance offensively. The Avalanches have won five consecutive matches in regular time on their home ice, with at least four goals scored in each of them. Nathan McKinnon continues to score points and makes a huge contribution to the overall result in every game. Chicago is playing a good stretch, but it's very hard to believe that the Hawks will be able to latch on to a positive outcome in Denver. We believe that the hosts will win another landslide victory. We offer a bet on an avalanche with a negative handicap.
Our prediction is that Colorado will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) in 1.62
Betting on an individual total
Colorado scores 3.38 goals per match, and on home ice it differs 3.7 times on average per game. Nathan McKinnon is in crazy shape, reaching the hundred-point mark and leading the league in points. Chicago plays fairly mediocre defense throughout the regular season and is unlikely to be able to withstand the pressure of avalanches.
Betting Tip - Colorado's individual total is more than four goals in 1.72
Bet on the total
Colorado goes on the attack from the first minute and plays very hard on offense at home. Chicago has already lost its tournament motivation for the rest of this season and is simply finishing the regular season. Anders Sorensen's team has several fairly strong attacking players and are capable of upsetting the opponent. We think that the match will not be boring.
Betting Tip - total more than six goals in 1.75
