Blackhawks set to skate against Avalanche
Coming off a disappointing 4-1 loss last time out, Chicago hits the road with a chance to get on the winning track Friday at Colorado.
Sporting a 1-3-0 overall record and a 0-2-0 mark within the division, the Blackhawks aim to knock the Avalanche (1-1-0 in the division) for a loss.
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, 6.5. The Avalanche are favored in this one, opening as 160 chalk.
Last time out, the Blackhawks lost to the Blues 4-1 as 110 favorites. That contest went under the closing total.
The Avalanche, meanwhile, will try to forget last game's 5-4 loss at the hands of the Predators, a game where they were favorites by 135. The combined score went over the total.
Some trends to consider:
Chicago is 1-2-2 OU in its last 5 games away against Colorado
Chicago is 14-5-2 OU in its last 21 away
Colorado is 5-0-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 3 to 4 goals
Colorado is 9-15-2 OU in its last 26 at home
Colorado is 3-4-2 OU in its last 9 games
Colorado is 1-2-2 OU in its last 5 games at home against Chicago
Next up:
Chicago at San Jose, Saturday, October 15
Colorado home to Los Angeles, Wednesday, October 19
