Panthers vs Blackhawks Prediction
The Panthers are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Blackhawks but are 1-3 in their last 4 visits in Chicago.
In this Panthers vs Blackhawks Prediction, the Panthers are coming as -175 road favorites. The Panthers have been terrible in their two games of this road trip, having lost both by a combined score of 1-9 goals, so I will not lay a -175 price with them on the road. The Blackhawks have been also ice-cold offensively lately, having scored just one goal in their last two games and both teams average just 5 goals per game this season combined. The last four meetings between those two teams also had less than 6.5 goals, so I will go under in this matchup between two ice-cold offenses.
