NHL Wild vs Blackhawks Picks and Odds, November 10, 2024

Tonight, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Minnesota Wild at the United Center. Chicago has been struggling to start the season, but Minnesota is off and running. It should be a good showdown between the division rivals.

Minnesota is off to a hot start with a 10-2-2 record, sitting 2nd in the division. They have been playing ridiculously good on the road with a 7-1-1 record as well as being 2-1-1 in divisional games. The Wild also come into this game on a 2-game winning streak and 8-2 in their last 10 games.

Kirill Kaprisov is having an impressive start to the season. He has totaled 9 goals and 18 assists, which leads the league with 27 points. The man has been a machine and is really going to be fun to watch this season.

In goal, Filip Gustavsson has been nothing short of exceptional so far. He has a 7-2-1 record this season with a 2.30 GAA and a .920 save percentage. He is expected to get the start in net tonight. If not, Marc-Andre Fleury, who is 3-0-1 with a 2.70 GAA, will get the start.

The Blackhawks are still in a rebuild but are still not playing well either. They are 5-9-1 to start the season, sitting last in the Central. Chicago comes in on a 2-game losing streak and are 3-7 in their last 10 games.

In the offseason, the Hawks brought in Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen. Both have been contributing to this weak offense. Chicago ranks in the bottom of the league for goals and shots on goal per game.

In his sophomore season, Bedard is leading the team. He has 3 goals and a team leading 10 assists, which also makes him the leader in points. Ryan Donato has stepped up for this team netting 7 goals so far.

Petr Mrazek has been the team’s starting goalie. He is 4-7-0 in his 11 starts so far this season. Mrazek has a 3.02 GAA and a .898 save percentage. He is expected in net tonight.

I’m riding with the hot hand here. Minnesota is on fire and not showing any signs of slowing down. This is a great divisional game for them to put under their belt as well.

The Wild have won their last 10 games straight vs the Blackhawks. They covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games against Chicago with every game going under. Minnesota team total over 3.5 goals for +106 is a great bet. The Wild has had 4 or more goals in 5 of their last 7 against the Hawks.

All the history lines up well. I expect Gustavsson to have a good game, or Fleury if he gets the start. I honestly feel like this could be a shut-out game, but the Wild have not shut the Hawks out in the last 10 games.

Give me Kiril for everything. I’ll be taking him to have 4+ shots on goal for -128, his 2+ points for +116 and his anytime goal for +105. I think he goes completely off the charts tonight in a game that should end up being fun to them.
