It is the Connar Bedard ers beginning tonight as the NHL season kicks off. The Blackhawks were one of the worst teams in the NHL but won the lottery. The Penguins missed the playoffs on the second last day of the season. Last season the Blackhawks averaged just 2.44 goals per game.
Chicago was awful defensively, allowing 3.61 goals per game. The Penguins averaged 3.15 goals per game and gave up 3.18. Bedard will make Chicago better but how much he can improve the offense and defense is a big question. He will bring some excitement to the Windy City and they have other young talent but just not this year. I like the Penguins in this one and will look for better value on the puck line.

Play on Pittsburgh minus 1.5 goals. Ths is a 2% play
