Blackhawks vs Penguins Prediction

The Blackhawks have been fade material all season long and while they’re at their best at home, we’re not getting enough bang for our buck to pull the trigger. The Penguins haven’t had much success on the road and aren’t a team I’m excited to back, but they are the better team, and they’re still not eliminated from possible playoff contention. The odds aren’t great, but they’re better than what the Blackhawks are looking at. Give me the Penguins and the cheap price, as they still have something to play for and have been able to scratch out a win here and there lately.
