Blackhawks vs Red Wings Prediction

For a moneyline bet, we have the Red Wings as the likely winner. However, with the current odds at -218, I’d suggest considering a puck line bet, as our predictions have the Red Wings winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Red Wings to win and cover. Look for the Red Wings to win this one by multiple goals over the Blackhawks.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
