Free Detroit Red Wings vs. Chicago Blackhawks NHL Prediction:
The Blackhawks have gotten the best of Detroit in their previous 10 meetings with a 6-3-1 record. The over/under has gone 6-1 throughout the span.
During the 10-game stretch, Chicago has been able to put the puck in the net for an average of 3.30 goals a night while giving up an average of 2.80 to the Red Wings.
I like the total staying under six and a half in this one. Yes, both teams give up over three goals a game but both teams have also had issues putting the puck in the net on the offensive end of the ice.
I’ll be honest, I started writing this liking the over but with Lehner projected to be in the net for Chicago, that changes things for me.
I like Chicago winning by a goal, maybe even two, but my money’s on the total staying under, here.
