Game outlook

The Chicago Blackhawks are looking to secure their second consecutive win when they face the St. Louis Blues on Saturday in Enterprise Center. The Blackhawks are coming off a 3-2 win over Colorado, while the Blues are coming off a 4-1 win over Florida. The Blues have a strong record in their last 10 games against Chicago, with a 7-2-1 record, but the line has remained steady at St. Louis as the favorite at -235.

Betting Odds

Moneyline: Blackhawks +198 | Blues -235

Spread: Blackhawks +1.5 (-115) | Blues -1.5 (-105)

Total: Over/Under 6 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that St. Louis will win straight-up is 70%.

Chicago Blackhawks

They recently ended a four-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche and will attempt to break their eight-game stretch of road losses with a win against the Blues. Goalie Petr Mrazek made 35 of 37 saves in the game and both Philipp Kurashev (Illness) and Alex Vlasic (Upper Body) are questionable for this upcoming game.

St. Louis Blues Analysis

Pavel Buchnevich had two goals and an assist and Joel Hofer saved 37 of the 38 shots he faced in the most recent win. The Blues hope to have a similarly successful outing in their next game against the Blackhawks to gain their second consecutive win and fourth win in their last five games.

Blues Have Major Advantage Over Blackhawks Heading into Upcoming Matchup

In their last four games, the Blues have been victorious in three, each resulting in scores of at least four goals in their last three home games. Despite their impressive offensive record, they have not fared as well in special teams, with conversions on less than 10% of their power play opportunities. The Blackhawks, on the other hand, have had difficulty in their defensive end, allowing 12 goals in their last three games, as well as succumbing to fatigue with consecutive night games. Additionally, they’ve lost four of their last five games and all of their last eight on the road, with only seven goals amounting in their last three. Consequently, St. Louis should have a competitive edge based on their proficient penalty killing and defensive success.
