Chicago nevertheless broke its losing streak of two matches. The team went to visit the clear favorite in the person of Minnesota, where they unexpectedly played as reliably as possible in defense, allowing the opponent to score only one goal and eventually snatching Victoria in regular time (2:1). Goalkeeper Knight played well, deflecting 96% of the shots, which did not allow the savages to even catch on to the points. However, it is worth noting that the club rarely demonstrates such results this season. Basically, the defense does not compensate for the main disadvantage of the hawks — poor performance in attack.
Colorado's slump has already dragged on, and the losing streak has reached three games in a row. After an unsuccessful performance on the road and defeat from a clear outsider in the person of Winnipeg (3:1), the team returned to the home arena, where they clearly wanted to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, but failed to do so. In the opening match, the Avalanche were completely defeated by Pittsburgh with a score of 2:7. Goalkeepers Wedgwood and Blackwood played very poorly, reflecting only 65% of shots between the two. Next, the club fought a much more powerful opponent, Dallas, and this time it was a shame to lose in a shootout (1:2).
Yes, Chicago is not playing its best this season and rarely fulfills its offensive potential. But the team has recently begun to delight fans with high-quality defensive play, which allows them to consistently earn points. Colorado is far from its optimal form, which leads to constant defeats both in duels with opponents of its own level and with outsiders. Considering these factors, it is quite possible to bet on the victory of the ice masters with a positive handicap.
Our betting tip is that Chicago will win with a handicap of (+1.5) goals in 1.94
