Chicago - New Jersey: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Chicago was in terrible shape for a long time and could not achieve success for seven consecutive matches. What is especially noteworthy is that the team has suffered crushing defeats over and over again, losing to almost every competitor with a difference of more than one or two goals. The Hawks could not even impose a decent fight on an opponent of their level, in the person of San Jose, having failed with a score of 2:4.

Few would have expected the Blackhawks to end their losing streak against Philadelphia, and so confidently. The team played at home, where, with the support of the fans, it realized its full attacking potential and defeated the Flyers with a score of 7:4. All the players showed a great game, but the most productive was striker Bertuzzi, who scored a goal and gave two assists. However, it is worth noting that the club shows such results very rarely this season. For this reason, Chicago remains on the penultimate line in the Western Conference table and no longer has a chance of qualifying for the playoffs.

Disqualifications and injuries

Brossois, Dutch, Dickinson and Weber will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Martinez is also questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Chicago concedes 3.6 goals per match.
• The Hawks average 24 shots per match.

Current form

New Jersey ended a three-game home streak, completely failing it. In the first match, the team faced Calgary and could not cope with the pressure of the opponent, allowing him to realize himself in attack and being defeated with a score of 3:5. Goalkeeper Markstrom showed his worst side, reflecting only 85% of shots. As expected, the team was also unable to rehabilitate itself in the match against Ottawa. The Devils played poorly in the second period, allowing the Senators to take a significant two-goal advantage and could not win it back.

Continuing to perform at home, the team fought Vancouver and was one step away from victory, but just 40 seconds before the final whistle, they missed the most important goal, allowing the Canucks to put the game into overtime. As a result, it came all the way to the shootout, where I had to concede again (3:4). So far, the club's latest decline has not affected its position in the Eastern Conference table. The Devils continue to remain on the sixth line in the Eastern Conference table, but their advantage over their closest competitor has been reduced to two points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Hamilton, Hughes and Siegenthaler will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, New Jersey scores three goals per game.
• The Devils receive an average of 8.4 penalty minutes per match.
