Command Analysis

Chicago Blackhawks

Current form
After a successful start to the home series and a confident victory over Philadelphia (7-4), Chicago could no longer please the fans with the result. The team experienced huge defensive problems, which is why it was unable to give a decent rebuff to New Jersey (3:5). Goalkeeper Knight showed his worst side, reflecting only 80% of shots. A similar situation arose in the next match with Vegas, in which I had to concede with a similar score of 3:5. Despite the defeat, it is worth praising striker Donato, who scored a hat-trick.
Continuing to perform in their native walls, Sorensen's wards met with a less serious opponent, in the person of Utah. However, it was not possible to impose a decent fight on the former Arizona, which led to a defeat (2:5). Once again, goalkeeper Cederblom failed in his main task, deflecting 83% of shots. So far, Chicago continues to be on the penultimate line in the Western Conference table, and may soon drop to the last position altogether.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brossois, Dickinson and Weber remain in the infirmary. Martinez is also in question.

Colorado Avalanche

Current form
Colorado has been in great shape for a long time and was able to earn a winning streak of four matches in a row. It seemed that while the team was playing on the home arena, it would continue to delight the fans with success, but in the duel with St. Louis, there were serious problems with the implementation of attacking moments, of which there were plenty. Of the 29 shots, only one reached the target, which led to an unexpected defeat with a score of 1:2.
The Avalanche were almost able to rehabilitate themselves for the lost points in the next match against Calgary. By the beginning of the third period, the Avalanches had scored two unanswered goals, but they were unable to maintain a significant advantage. The Flames tied the score and moved the game into overtime. It came to a shootout, where they had to concede with a score of 2:3. Despite the lost points, the club continues to remain on the fourth line in the Western Conference table, with 94 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Landeskug, Munson and Pullman remain in the infirmary.

1.45Tip and bets
Chicago is a clear outsider in the upcoming match, for which there are many reasons. Firstly, the team is in terrible shape and has not been able to please the fans with successful results for a long time. The Hawks are unlikely to start steadily earning points this season, and they no longer have any motivation left, as the chances of reaching the playoffs have long been lost. Colorado, in turn, surpasses its competitor in all respects and will definitely not miss the opportunity to earn extra points.
Our prediction is that Colorado will win with a handicap of (-1.5) goals in 1.75
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Chicago is experiencing huge defensive problems and is trying to compensate for this shortcoming through the offensive line. Colorado obviously will not sit back in defense and will also try to show its attacking potential to the fullest, which will make the meeting productive.
Betting Tip - total more than six goals in 1.87
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Colorado, due to its colossal superiority over its opponent, must create powerful pressure on Chicago from the first minutes of the match, which the hawks will definitely not be able to cope with. So the Avalanche have a great chance to earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Colorado wins in the first period in 2.04
