Detroit completed the next away meeting with a victory, having managed to cope with Edmonton in shootouts. The team showed character and fought back several times during the confrontation, although it had previously performed poorly in Calgary. Chicago also managed to improve after a series of defeats, beating Los Angeles on its own court. However, the attack of the guests has recently shown rather modest effectiveness. Now both teams will try to build on their recent successes, but the opponents' capabilities don't look exactly the same. In our betting tip, we will analyze the features of their game and select the appropriate bet
Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
The previous meeting between Detroit and Edmonton turned out to be quite tense and ended with the victory of the guests in shootouts with a score of 4:3. Moreover, the hosts took the lead three times, but each time allowed the opponent to restore equality. Especially important was Dylan Larkin's goal 77 seconds before the end of the third period, which sent the game into overtime. They failed to score in extra time, and Lucas Raymond scored the decisive shot in the shootout. Goalkeeper Michal Postava also played a significant role, scoring his first victory in an NHL debut match.
The success in Edmonton turned out to be especially important after losing to Calgary (1-4), which interrupted a series of six meetings with points scored. Earlier, Detroit confidently beat Vancouver with a score of 5:2 and coped with San Jose (4:3). Raymond and Alex Debrinkat continue to play a significant role in the attack, and Larkin is able to solve important episodes even in the final minutes. At the same time, the defense periodically makes mistakes, so the team does not always manage to maintain the advantage. Returning to your home ground should add confidence, especially after a difficult away leg.
Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks finally managed to break a three-game losing streak by beating Los Angeles 2-1. Moreover, the hosts conceded first in the third minute when Samuel Helenius took advantage of the confusion near the goal. It was possible to restore equality only in the second period thanks to Roman Kanzerov, who distinguished himself in the majority after Connor Bedard's transfer. The decisive moment occurred in the middle of the third twenty minutes. Wyatt Kaiser joined the attack and scored the winning goal, and Patrick Kane scored his 899th NHL assist. Spencer Knight blocked 25 shots.
Before defeating Los Angeles, the team lost to Florida (2:3), Montreal (1:4) and Dallas (0:4). Especially unpleasant is the effectiveness of the attack, which has scored only five goals in the last four meetings. Bedard continues to be the main organizer of the attacks, but the necessary support from partners is still insufficient. At the same time, the last victory showed that Chicago is able to achieve results thanks to more careful hockey. However, it won't be easy to repeat such a scenario against Detroit on the road.
Detroit is approaching the upcoming meeting in a better condition, especially after a difficult victory over Edmonton. The team regularly creates dangerous moments and has strong enough attackers who are able to decide the outcome even in tense situations. Chicago has also managed to improve after a series of setbacks, but implementation problems remain serious. Even in the last successful match, the attack was limited to two goals. Against the hosts, who are able to maintain a high tempo, it will not be easy for the guests to rely solely on reliable defense.
The beginning of the meeting will surely play an important role. If Detroit manages to seize the initiative quickly enough, the opponent will have to take risks more often and leave free zones. Chicago has dangerous performers, but the current performance of the team does not allow us to count on a large number of goals. The hosts look preferable both in terms of composition and recent performances. We expect that the Red Wings will be able to use their advantage and achieve victory.
