Chicago Blackhawks vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Predictions
The Blackhawks are coming off a loss and are currently ranked 14th in the Western Conference. Their star player, Connor Bedard, leads the team with 5 goals and 7 points this season. Despite their recent struggles, the Blackhawks have shown potential for offensive firepower, particularly from Bedard. However, they will need to step up their game to match the Lightning’s strong defense.
On the other side, the Lightning have been performing well this season, currently ranking 3rd in the Eastern Conference. Their top player, Nikita Kucherov, has been on a hot streak, leading the team with 10 goals and 22 points. The Lightning’s strong offensive play, coupled with their solid defense, makes them a formidable opponent. They will be looking to extend their winning streak in this matchup.
This game could come down to key player matchups. The Lightning’s Kucherov will be a player to watch, as his offensive prowess could pose a significant challenge for the Blackhawks’ defense. On the other hand, the Blackhawks’ Bedard has shown his scoring ability and will be a key player for the Lightning to contain. With both teams boasting strong players, this game is set to be an exciting showdown.
Chicago Blackhawks vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Pick
Given the recent trends and odds, the ‘Under’ seems to be the most viable pick for this game. The Blackhawks have hit the under in 7 of their 11 games this season, indicating a trend of low-scoring games. Additionally, they have hit the under in 5 of their 7 road games, suggesting that their offensive production tends to decrease when playing away from home. This could be a significant factor in this game, as they will be facing a strong Lightning defense on the road.
On the other hand, the Lightning have hit the over in 9 of their 13 games this season. However, it’s worth noting that in their most recent game against the Blackhawks, the total score hit the under. This suggests that when these two teams face off, the game tends to be more defensively oriented and lower scoring. Given these factors, along with the Blackhawks’ recent struggles on offense and the Lightning’s strong defense, the ‘Under’ seems to be the most likely outcome for this game.
The Pick: Under 6.5 (+105 at DraftKings)
