Chicago Blackhawks vs. Detroit Red Wings Predictions

The Detroit Red Wings are coming into this game with a solid record, sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference. However, they’re looking to bounce back from a recent loss and will be relying on their top scorer Alex DeBrincat and assist leader Shayne Gostisbehere to lead the charge. The Red Wings have shown they can be a force offensively, and their power play has been particularly effective this season. With the addition of Patrick Kane, they’re hoping to add even more depth to their attack once he’s ready to join the lineup.

On the other side, the Chicago Blackhawks are at the bottom of the Western Conference standings but are coming off a win. The Blackhawks will be leaning on their young star Connor Bedard, who leads the team in goals and points. Philipp Kurashev has also been a key playmaker for the team. While Chicago’s overall performance this season has been less than stellar, they’ve shown they can pull off wins and will be looking to upset the Red Wings on their home ice.

Defensively, both teams have had their struggles, but the Red Wings have been slightly better at keeping the puck out of their net. This game could come down to which team can tighten up at the back and whether the Red Wings’ higher-ranked offense can capitalize on the Blackhawks’ defensive lapses. With both teams having a mix of young talent and experienced players, it will be interesting to see which side can gain the upper hand in this historic rivalry.

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Detroit Red Wings Pick

Considering the recent trends and the current dynamics of both teams, the ‘Under’ seems to be the more compelling pick for this matchup. Despite the historic head-to-head encounters favoring the ‘Over’, the Red Wings have been hitting the ‘Under’ in four out of their last five games, indicating a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring games. Additionally, the Blackhawks, while not as defensively sound as the Red Wings, have also been involved in games that have gone ‘Under’ in three out of their last five road games. With the Red Wings missing key player Dylan Larkin due to injury and Patrick Kane still acclimating to the team, their offensive firepower may not be at its peak, which could lead to fewer goals scored.

Moreover, the Blackhawks’ reliance on young talent like Connor Bedard suggests that they might struggle against the more balanced and defensively inclined Red Wings. The pressure of an away game and the Red Wings’ motivation to rebound from a recent loss could result in a more conservative approach from both teams. Taking into account the current form and the potential for a closely contested game, the ‘Under’ is a prudent pick, especially with the total line set at 6.0, which is a threshold that both teams have struggled to surpass in recent outings.

The Pick: Under 6.0 +102 (BetRivers)
