Chicago has lost six of their last seven games and in their lone game facing Utah in the season opener they lost 5-2 on the road. The Blackhawks rank 30th in the NHL in goals against per game and have given up 16 goals in their last three games. Utah played solid D in their last game only giving up one goal and will play well on the defensive side of the ice. Regarding the Chicago Blackhawks vs. Utah Hockey Club prediction the Utah attack will be pretty good but that with a solid defensive performance will lead to a win. Utah will also win by at least two goals, so take the puck line to get better odds.
Take the Utah Hockey Club and the puck line -1.5 goals +100.
Insiders Status:
When these teams met in the season opener in the lone matchup the total went Over but I am leaning towards the Under in this one. This despite the fact that the Blackhawks have given up five goals in each of their last two games after the break. Their defense will not be much better but it will be better since they are facing a less than stellar Utah attack, which has totaled five goals in their last two games. Utah will be decent on the attack but not great but they will be great on defense and in a lower-scoring game the Under is the pick.
Take the Under 6 goals.
