Tonight’s NHL Betting Picks, Odds and Prediction | Red Wings vs. Blackhawks

Red Wings vs. Blackhawks Game Info

Detroit Red Wings (7-13-3, 17 points) at Chicago Blackhawks (11-7-4, 26 points)
Date: Sunday, Feb. 28, 2021
Start Time: 7 p.m. EST
Venue: United Center — Chicago, Ill.
Coverage: NBCSN

The Red Wings may not have had the best start to the year, but their current two-game winning streak has vaulted them past the Stars for seventh place. Sure, that’s in part because the Stars have played seven fewer games, but Red Wings fans will take the wins that they can get.

In contrast, the Blackhawks are looking to regain some lost momentum. They fell to the Red Wings last night, but they had a two-game winning streak of their own going before that point.

Red Wings vs. Blackhawks Win/Loss Trends and Prediction

With just seven wins on the year, the Red Wings are tied for the fourth-fewest wins. They also have the league’s second-worst points percentage, beating out only Ottawa. They may currently be on a two-game tear, including one win over Chicago, but they had dropped four straight to the Blackhawks earlier in the year.

Of Detroit’s seven wins, three came against losing teams: Nashville (twice) and Columbus (once). The majority of their victories have come against surprisingly strong teams: Florida (twice), Carolina (once) and Chicago (once). That said, they routinely lose games by a considerable margin, as their goal differential of -22 indicates.

Before they stumbled against the Red Wings last night, the Blackhawks had gone 8-2 over their most recent 10 games, rocketing them to fourth in the division. That streak included two wins over the Red Wings. I suspect that they’ll bounce back from their disappointing loss last night, and I favor them on the NHL betting market.

Red Wings vs. Blackhawks Total Trends and Prediction

The Red Wings score 2.13 goals per game and allow 3.09 per game. In contrast, the Blackhawks have scored and allowed exactly 3 goals per game.

These teams have met five times this season, and those meetings saw Detroit average 2 goals per game — although their 5-goal showing last night nearly doubled that rate. Chicago has averaged 3.6 goals per game against Detroit, and they have yet to score fewer than 2 goals against them.

With Kevin Lankinen in net for the Blackhawks tonight (.921 save percentage), I suspect that Detroit will have a harder time scoring. They have averaged just 1 goal per game against Chicago when facing Lankinen.
