Carolina continues to be among the leaders of the regular season and is approaching the home game in good condition. The situation is completely different for Chicago, which has suffered five defeats in a row and is having great difficulty defending. Our betting tip is based on a noticeable difference in the current form of the opponents, and the bet assumes the victory of the favorite with an advantage of at least two goals
Command Analysis
Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes have won five of their last six matches, with good performances in most of the matches. After an unexpected 1-4 loss to Nashville, Rod Brindamore's team quickly rectified the situation by beating the Islanders with a score of 5:3. William Carrier scored the winning goal, and Andrey Svechnikov scored a goal and an assist. Earlier, Carolina defeated Winnipeg (7-0), leaving almost no attacking opportunities for the opponent.
The attacking group of the hosts looks especially confident. Sebastian Aho scored 23 points in 18 games, and Logan Stankoven is the team's best marksman with 11 goals scored. Jackson Blake is also in great shape, extending his scoring streak to eight games. An additional boost was the return of Taylor Hall, who missed nine matches due to injury.
Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks' problems are becoming more noticeable with each round. Jeff Blashill's men have lost five games in a row, conceding 23 goals during this period. The last match against Tampa Bay ended in a 1-0 defeat.:4. Roman Kanzerov managed to score the only goal in the last minute, when the outcome of the confrontation was already almost decided. Before that, Chicago lost to Florida (3:5) and Colorado (2:5).
Despite the weak results, individual hockey players continue to show a decent game. Kanzerov has been scoring points for seven matches and has already scored eight goals this season. Connor Bedard is also trying to support the attack, but the efforts of the leaders are not enough to remedy the situation. It is especially difficult for the team against opponents who constantly exert pressure and force defenders to make mistakes.
The main difficulty for the guests lies in the inability to withstand the constant pressure of rivals. Carolina is one of the teams that actively press, quickly return the puck and spend long stretches in someone else's zone. With this type of game, it will be difficult for Chicago's defense to avoid mistakes. In addition, the hosts have already beaten this opponent this season with a score of 5:2, and then the meeting was held on the Blackhawks ice. Now the advantage of the home court will be on the side of the favorite.
The difference in the reliability of the teams deserves special attention. In four of the last five defeats, Chicago has conceded at least two goals, and there are still few prerequisites for a quick fix. Carolina has a more diverse offense and is capable of creating danger with several links, which is especially important against the tired defense of the guests. Therefore, we hope that the hosts will be able to achieve a comfortable advantage and hold it until the final siren.
Our betting tip is that Carolina will win with a handicap of (-1.5) goals in 1.65
