Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Andres Sorensen is trying to find the right balance and it looks like he's succeeding. In the new year, Chicago has started to snap back. In the games against Montreal and Colorado, the Hawks managed to earn points, but St. Louis, Rangers and Detroit were not strong enough. Thus, the Blackhawks continue to be the worst among all teams in the current NHL season. They have earned 30 points in 42 games, recording 14 wins and two losses outside of regulation time. Of course, there is virtually no chance for Chicago to make a comeback this season. The manager just needs to find the one game that will make the team more competitive.

Edmonton started 2025 with four wins. They managed to upset Utah, Anaheim, Seattle and Boston, but the Oilers couldn't extend their winning streak to five. In the last game they were on the road weaker than Pittsburgh with a score of 3:5. Thus, in the standings of the Western Conference Chris Nobloch's wards continue to fight for a place in the top three, currently sitting in sixth place and having 53 points, which is three less than the third Minnesota.

Edmonton feels confident in matches against ‘Chicago’. So, in the last five face-to-face meetings on the account of the Oilers recorded four wins against one for the Blackhawks.

We are more inclined to the success of Edmonton. Chicago although showed decent hockey with Montreal and Colorado, in others looked very average. The class of Oilers players is much higher - Draisaitl and McDavid are among the top-6 scorers in the NHL with 119 points. In our opinion, the Oilers will have the strength and desire to defeat the Blackhawks. We suggest betting on their handicap.
