Pittsburgh at Chicago

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.
