We are waiting for a lot of bright games ahead in the regular season of the NHL, so Chicago and Colorado will hold a meeting between each other. The game of these teams will take place on January 29 at 04:30 Moscow time. Our portal offers you its forecast for the outcome of this meeting.
Chicago Blackhawks
The big signings of the "chiefs" in the off-season have not yet brought any results, but on the contrary have reduced the position of the club. The Indians failed the start of the season. It was only with the return of the leaders that Chicago managed to reach its level and get several important victories, but stability is still lacking. Now the team has again plunged into a series of defeats, which was interrupted only in the last match by an away victory over Detroit 5-8.
Colorado Avalanche
After the loss of the main goalkeeper and injuries to key players, the Colorado players started the new season hard and do not have stability yet. It will be difficult for the Avalanches to surpass the success of last year, although they have recently begun to show good hockey, especially on their own court. The Avalanches are now giving out a series of victories, and the last victim of the team was Boston, which lost in overtime.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Chicago - Lankinen (illness), Johnson (head injury), Khaira (illness), Stillman (shoulder injury).
Colorado - Byram (illness), Matto (leg injury), Murray (upper body injury), Helm (upper body injury).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended with a 2-0 victory for Colorado.
- Chicago has won only once in their last five meetings.
- Colorado has a good streak of eight consecutive wins.
Forecast
The clear favorite in this confrontation looks like "Colorado", which has more cool players in the squad and is now in great shape. "Chicago" after the return of the leaders began to revive and win, but now has problems in defense. I think the guests will be able to get maximum points here.
