St. Louis Blues vs. Chicago Blackhawks betting picks and predictions

Chicago Blackhawks Money Line (+125)

We know this Blackhawks team has not performed up to their standards this season, as they are last in the entire NHL. However, they still have players capable of making a big impact in this game, obviously starting with generational talent Connor Bedard.

He hasn’t taken a major step up from last season, but he is scoring nearly a point-per-game and is a threat every shift.

He has a decent supporting cast of long-time and well-respected NHL players, and their starting goaltender Petr Mrazek has shown he can put together some strong performances. 

The Blues are not too far away from Chicago in strength and standings, and the Blackhawks can come together in front of a packed Wrigley Field and put together a strong performance.

Connor Bedard Anytime Goalscorer (+220)

Bedard hasn't taken a major step that he and the entire NHL would have expected this season, and he is on pace for roughly the same statline as last season.

However, that does not change the fact that he is an elite talent and the cornerstone of Chicago’s future.

This is set to be a great test to see if he can perform on the biggest stages. The feeling is that Bedard will be a player who shows up in big moments, and he can start here.

Expect him to be a force in this game in front of the home crowd, finding the net at least once.

Over 5.5 Total Goals (-110)

The Blues have put together a decent season thus far, led by great offensive talent like Jordan Kyrou, Robert Thomas, and Dylan Holloway.

It has not resulted in great goals per game averages, but make no mistake, this team is full of offensive weapons that should score multiple goals against a weak Chicago defense.

Chicago can also join in on the scoring as they will be driven by a loud crowd, and have the pieces to do so.
