Match Details
- Date: 2025-10-13
- Time: 12:30 AM UTC
- Location: United Center
Game Overview
The NHL regular season matchup between the Chicago Blackhawks and Utah Mammoth will take place at Chicago's United Center on October 13, 2025, at 8:30 PM EDT. Chicago hosts Utah in what is an early-season contest, with Utah slightly favored according to moneyline odds. Both teams have started their seasons with mixed results, with Utah holding a minor edge in recent performance.
Key Factors to Consider
- Chicago Blackhawks have had a mediocre start to the season with a recent home game against Montreal Canadiens on October 11, suggesting some wear but also potential home advantage. Utah Mammoth have played two games so far with a 1-1-0 record, winning their most recent game in overtime against Nashville, demonstrating resilience and momentum[5].
- This matchup is relatively new as the Utah Mammoth is a recent NHL addition. Historical head-to-head data is limited or non-existent, making form and situational factors more decisive in prediction.
- No specific injury information is available from the provided data for either team. Absence of major injury reports suggests both teams could field close to full strength.
- The game is hosted at the United Center giving Chicago home-ice advantage, typically significant in NHL games. Utah's travel and back-to-back game situation (Oct 9 and Oct 11) may contribute to fatigue. No unusual weather or venue issues reported.
- Early season matches carry high motivation for establishing team chemistry and individual player form. Utahβs recent overtime win might boost confidence, whereas Chicago, playing at home, aims to capitalize on local support to solidify their position.
