Chicago Blackhawks @ Utah Hockey Club (Under) ..

Last season, Chicago was the story of NHL totals, keeping games very low scoring with their lack of scoring abilities. Having said that, I believe that the Blackhawks will start struggling even more than they already have been this season with that same category, just like last year. Chicago only averages 2.65 GPG at the moment which is near the bottom. Although Bedard is playing great hockey once again, Chicago is still a few seasons away from getting back to competitive again (unless it makes some big moves this offseason.)

On the other hand, Utah has been quietly a very solid team this year. Yes, there is the occasional game that gets out of hand with a bunch of scoring from the Hockey Club and the team that they are playing. However, they have been playing in a lot of low scoring games as well as they've won 25 games while scoring 2.79 GPG on the season.

Now, even though I see Utah winning this game pretty comfortably, I don't think that Chicago will score enough this evening to go "over" this total. Get 6.5 if possible, but even 6.0 should be good! This is my Central Div. Total Of The Year.

Score Prediction: 4-1 Blackhawks.
