Chicago Blackhawks vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

The Canucks haven’t had the greatest couple of weeks and you can argue they’re better on the road than at home, but none of that matters when playing the Blackhawks. The Blackhawks are arguably the worst team in the league and they’re 7-22-5 on the road. You shouldn’t make a habit of putting real money on the Blackhawks. Also, the Canucks have won each of the last nine games against the Blackhawks. The Canucks haven’t beaten the Blackhawks since November 2021. I’ll keep fading the Blackhawks, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
