The Utah Hockey Club is just the Arizona Coyotes renamed, with a few more additions; but this team was not good defensively. They should give up a few in this one to the Black Hawks who have Bedard in their lineup, who scored 61 points in 68 games last season, and who have added a few more offensive pieces like Tyler Bertuzzi and others to the lineup. Chicago played the Coyotes three times last season and all games had a combined score of seven or more goals. Despite Chicago’s lack of scoring in the preseason this year due to the transitioning of new faces, they have done well against the weaker teams in the league like this one. This opener should be exciting for the old team in a new city and this game should have plenty of goals from both teams.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
