Utah vs Chicago

Connor Bedard has been a glimmer of hope for the Blackhawks, but the team’s current three-game losing streak contrasts sharply with Utah’s recent two-game surge. Saints’ forward lines look healthy, while Chicago’s defense remains hindered by nagging injuries on the blue line that limit shot-blocking effectiveness. Historically, Utah has managed solid results against Central Division opponents, winning its last three road matchups in that conference. Given the -210 Moneyline favoring Utah, this wager earns a B+ for both likelihood of success and worthwhile return at these odds. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Connor Bedard has been a bright spot in an otherwise tough stretch for the Blackhawks, who've dropped their last three games in disheartening fashion. Meanwhile, Utah Hockey Club is riding a two-game win streak, bolstered by consistent scoring that compensates for a recent injury sidelining one of their top defensemen. Historically, these teams have eclipsed similar lines when facing opponents in the same conference, suggesting another offensive showdown could be on tap. This pick earns a B+ because it carries a solid monetary upside while also acknowledging each roster’s knack for piling on the goals. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Utah’s leading scorer has thrived throughout a three-game win streak that reflects the team’s recent surge, while Chicago remains mired in a four-game slide without dependable blue-liner Seth Jones, who is questionable following an upper-body concern. Historically, Utah’s offensive pace has overpowered Central Division foes, giving them an added edge against the Blackhawks, who have faltered at 21-42-9 this season. With a record of 32-29-11, Utah looks poised to stretch their advantage on the puckline, and the spread pick at -1.5 (+118) earns a confident B+ rating for both likelihood of success and potential payout.
