In this Red Wings vs Blackhawks Prediction, the Red Wings are coming as -190 road favorites. The Red Wings have a better overall record and more wins on the road than the Blackhawks have at home. On top of that, the Blackhawks are on the second leg of a back-to-back and had to travel back home from Saint Louis last night, and they also have not been in good form lately, with a 3-7 record in their last 10 games, while the Red Wings are 3-1 in their last 4 games. This is a tough scheduling spot for the Blackhawks so I will side with the big road favorite in this spot. Take the Red Wings on the moneyline.
