Chicago - Pittsburgh: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the NHL match

The Blackhawks are frankly failing the start of the championship, having lost 5 of 6 matches. Moreover, in some fights, the black hawks suffered real defeats. For example, they lost to Utah (0:6), Carolina (2:5) and the Islanders (1:4). The team demonstrates an extremely weak attack, scoring an average of only 2.00 goals per match. In addition, Chicago defensively concedes an average of 4.33 goals per match.

The situation is aggravated by the overcrowded owners' infirmary. Blackhawks leader Connor Bedard is out of action until November, and Frank Nazar and Andrew Manjapane will also miss the match. Without the support of key performers, Chicago looks helpless.

The Penguins are showing good fighting form at the start of the season, scoring points in 4 out of 6 matches. In the last two games, Pittsburgh had tough, drawn-out meetings with Columbus (2:3) and Dallas (2:1). Let's add that the Penguins show stable performance in attack, scoring an average of 3.50 goals per game.

Veteran and Pittsburgh leader Evgeni Malkin is in excellent condition, scoring five points (3+2), and Erik Karlsson successfully conducts the game on the blue line (five assists). Despite the injuries to Andrey Kuzmenko, Ryan Graves and Justin Brazeau, the depth of the squad allows Pittsburgh to confidently control the pace of the game.
