Chicago Blackhawks vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction: Penguins to claim victory

Chicago Blackhawks will take on Pittsburgh Penguins November 21 at 03:00. Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Chicago continues to undergo a global personnel rebuild, which is reflected in the team's results. The Blackhawks looked surprisingly good in their regular season debut, winning four games in six starts, but then they ran into trouble. In the next 11 games, Luke Richardson's players won only twice, and then against Los Angeles and Anaheim – 2-1 and 3-2, which are not in the best condition. Such modest numbers leave the Red and Black in 12th place in the Western Conference standings.

Pittsburgh is one of the few regulars in the playoffs in all recent years, but now the Penguins risk not to be in the cup battles for the first time in many years. The Pennsylvanians' roster is noticeably inferior to their rivals, while their leaders are not getting any younger, although it's not reflected in their stats yet. Nevertheless, in 18 held meetings Mike Sullivan's team had only eight victories and ten defeats. The Yellow-Blacks are doing well on the road, beating Minnesota and Winnipeg 6-4 and 3-0, which allowed them to move up to 10th place in the standings in the East.

Pittsburgh is a surprising team that has been playing much better on the road than in their home walls lately. In their five previous away meetings, the Penguins scored nine out of a possible ten points, winning four games in regulation time with one loss in overtime. And now the Pennsylvanians are the favorites, as the Hawks are in bad shape and cannot get points in three games in a row. You can bet on Pittsburgh's win for 1.77 at 1xbet.

Chicago not only collects few points in the current regular season, but also misses a lot. The Hawks have conceded 57 pucks (3.35 average per game) in 17 meetings played, one of the worst rates in the league. The Penguins have 65 goals in 18 games (3.61 average per game), so the optimal betting option seems to be Pittsburgh's ITO 3.5 pucks at odds of 1.80 as Bet365, and separately it is worth looking at the bet on Jeff Carter's TO (0.5) for 1.95 at Betway.
