3 NHL Picks for Red Wings vs Blackhawks
1. Key an Eye on Connor Bedard and Lucas Raymond in Scoring
Four of the top five scorers for Detroit are former first-round draft picks with leading scorer Lucas Raymond and star defenseman Moritz Seider being top-10 picks in 2019 and 2020. Defenseman Simon Edvinsson and forward Michael Rasmussen are other recent top-10 selections playing key roles for the Red Wings.
Most of the attention with the Blackhawks is focused on 2023 No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard. He was being touted as a franchise-changing player heading into the draft. There are still some growing pains for a player who won’t turn 20 until the offseason. Bedard is coming off a game with three assists and five shots on the goal. He will look to score a goal for the first time in five games. He scored in his last home game and look for him to do it again in the Nov. 6 best bets.

The wins haven’t been coming although the Blackhawks are 3-0 this season when Bedard has at least two points. Lukas Reichel is another young player for Chicago to keep an eye on.

2. Bet on the Blackhawks to Win at Home
Good luck trying to figure out which Red Wings team will hit the ice. The Red Wings have allowed six goals in the six wins. In the other six games, the opponent has scored 29 times. Detroit needed a pair of power-play goals to edge the Buffalo Sabres in its most recent game.
Chicago is coming off back-to-back wins for the first time this season after topping the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks to complete a five-game road trip. Chicago could be due to break through after losing its last three home games even if the BetUS Sportsbook odds favor the visiting Red Wings.
This game is approaching Pick’em status and there is the possibility of more line movement before the puck is dropped. Keep an eye on the status of Chicago defenseman Alec Martinez as he skated before Tuesday’s practice. He has missed the last nine games and could be returning to the ice soon.
