January 1st, 2015 Chicago Blackhawks @ Washington Capitals

Season Record:32-24:+6.33 Units

Let’s have a look at some betting trends for this match-up. Chicago is 13-3 SU in its last 16 games and 2-5 SU in its last 7 games when playing Washington. Chicago is third highest scoring team in the league at 3.2 goals per game. Chicago leads the league in shots with 35.4 per game. Chicago is second in the league in power play chances at 3.7 per game. Chicago is the toughest team to score on in the league, allowing just 2.1 goals per game. Chicago leads the league in penalty killing at 90.5%. Washington is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games.

Because of the unknowns of playing outdoors their really isn’t any need for a big write up here. Consider this before picking this game that it may be pushed back to later in the day due to the weather. The sun glaring off the ice could be very dangerous for the players and of course melt the ice. With all of the unknown’s I feel as if Chicago is just the better hockey team and will be able to overcome whatever problem lies ahead of them. It’s meant to be a fun event so don’t go wagering a huge amount of this pick. Throw a little money down and have fun with it. Best of luck!!!
