Prediction for the NHL Chicago vs Anaheim match, which will take place on March 9 at 04:30. Who will be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

In the last five-game stretch, Chicago has not been at its best - two wins (over New Jersey and Edmonton) and three losses. First, Blackhawks failed 0:4 with St. Louis, then they lost by one puck to Philadelphia and finally they lost to Tampa Bay. As for the team's position in the Central Division, it is penultimate, 18 points away from the playoff zone.

Anaheim has a good shot at the playoffs, but they need to pull themselves together to make it happen. The Ducks are 58 games short of the playoff spot, so they have to give it all in this upcoming meeting. In the last five games, the Ducks secured two wins - over Boston and San Jose, and suffered three losses (to Los Angeles, the Islanders and Vegas).

Both teams are not in the best shape for this game, which is why we can't be sure who the favorite is. There's no way Anaheim should lose points in the upcoming game, as there's not much left before the playoffs. Chicago has no tournament motivation, so we can conclude that the visiting team will be stronger.
