Blues vs Blackhawks Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blues to take down the Blackhawks on the road. With the moneyline currently at -154, I’m placing my bet on the Blues straight-up.

If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Blackhawks to cover. Even in the event of a Blues victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Blackhawks should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
