Utah

After the break, Utah played two games in a row and they can be pretty happy with how they did. They might've lacked strength in numbers in the match against Los Angeles (3-5), but they got two points against Vancouver (2-1). Also, Andre Tourigny's team have a good chance of getting into the play-offs. They're pretty happy with tenth place in the Western Conference, just four points behind the eighth Canucks.

Chicago

Chicago has already given up on the playoffs and is taking it easy. They played like an outsider all season, and the team's got a decent roster. That means they're in second-to-last place in the Western Conference with 41 points. They're coming into the next game off three straight losses. First, they lost to St. Louis in a shootout, then they couldn't handle Columbus, and then they lost to Toronto.

H2H Meetings

In the current season, they've played each team just once, and Utah's got the upper hand with a three-game lead.

Expert Betting Tips

Chicago is probably one of the most stable teams in the NHL this season, but they're not doing too well. Utah looks much better against their opponent. While the Hawks are fighting with the Sharks for the penultimate position, they've got a good chance of making the playoffs. We think that with the support of their own fans behind them, Andre Tourigny's team won't be taking their chances, so we suggest betting on a clean win.
