Game of the Week

Both teams have hit hard times and Pittsburgh will look to Arturs Silovs, who is 5-5-6, to help the Penguins get their second win in three games. They have been off since Tuesday while Chicago is playing a back-to-back after winning 4-3 in a shootout over Dallas last night. Arvid Soderblom stopped 28 of 31 shots for the Blackhawks, who are expected to start Spencer Knight tonight. Knight has lost his past four starts while getting little support from his skaters. Chicago has averaged 1.8 goals in 10 games. Chicago is #26 in goals per game and #31 in shots per game. The Blackhawks are 13-51 their past 64 games following a win. Take the Penguins.

Pittsburgh at Chicago

February 15, 2024
img8:37 PM Eastern

Chicago won the only meeting this season way back in October, but that was when the Blackhawks had hopes for a decent season with rookie phenom Connor Bedard in the lineup. Not much has gone right since Bedard was injured, and Chicago currently owns the worst record in the NHL. The Blackhawks have lost seven in a row while scoring a total of only eight goals in that span, including three shutouts. Petr Mrazek is expected in net and he has a decent 2.96 goals-against average, but just a 12-21-2 record as he is getting little help on the offensive side. Alex Nedeljkovic is likely for Pittsburgh and he is 8-4-3 with a 2.63 GAA and a .917 save percentage. The Penguins are 7-1 playing with no rest and Chicago is 2-11 against teams that allowed at least five goals their previous game. Book a Max Play on the Penguins.
