Chicago Blackhawks vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Picks

Four of the past five meetings have gone OVER, and Vegas finally found some offense as it defeated Pittsburgh 6-2 on Thursday night, easily going OVER. The Golden Knights put five goals on their first 15 shots, and they got even better news as captain Mark Stone returned to the lineup after missing five games with an injury. The Knights are 34-28-4 OVER in 2025-26. Adin Hill is likely for Vegas, and he has a 3.23 goals-against average and an .863 save percentage. Chicago goalie Spencer Knight has lost seven of nine starts. Take the OVER.

Vegas has lost 11 games in overtimes or shootouts and now the Golden Knights are blowing games in the final minutes of regulation such as they did on Friday in a 4-3 loss to St. Louis. The Knights lost their fourth in a row when Brayden Schenn scored the game-winner on a deflection with 1:33 remaining for Vegas' seventh loss in eight games. Chicago has won two straight after defeating Washington 3-2 on Saturday. Nick Foligno scored the decisive goal in the fifth shootout round for the Blackhawks. Vegas has lost four in a row against Central Division teams and four of five versus opponents with losing records. Carter Hart is likely for the Golden Knights after allowing 14 goals his past three starts and all were losses. Take the Blackhawks.

There is going to be a buzz in the air in Las Vegas when the Golden Knights host the Blackhawks. That's because goalie Carter Hart is expected to make his first start with the Golden Knights. Hart signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Knights on Oct. 24, less than three months after he was acquitted of a sexual assault case where he and four others were charged in an incident involving Canada’s World Junior team from 2018. Monday was the first day Hart and the other four players charged were eligible to return to the NHL. The Golden Knights have elite talent, but they definitely can use a boost in net. Las Vegas is coming off a much-needed 4-3 win against the Sharks this past Saturday that snapped a four-game losing streak. The Blackhawks may not have their full intensity after upsetting the Ducks 5-3 at home on Sunday. This is only Chicago's second road game since Nov. 9. The Blackhawks were destroyed 9-3 by Buffalo in their previous away game on Nov. 21. Take the Golden Knights.

The teams have split two meetings this season, and Chicago has a fighting chance in tonight's matchup with Spencer Knight likely in the net. He is 15-13-1 with Florida and Chicago in the 2024-25 season with a 2.60 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. Vegas has lost 10 of 15 road games and four of six road games at Chicago. The Golden Knights have a revenge game against Nashville on deck tomorrow night, and they have lost 18 of 34 road games this season. The Blackhawks ended a long scoring drought by scoring 10 goals in their past two games, including a 7-4 win over Philadelphia on Sunday. Take the Blackhawks.
