Blackhawks vs Kings Picks, Predictions, and Odds Tonight

The Los Angeles Kings host the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night. Chicago won the last meeting 2-1 at home a week ago. Jonathan Quick and the Kings' defense should be able to contain Chicago's offense.

Jonathan Quick is projected to start for Los Angeles against Chicago. The Kings won the last game 2-1. Chicago's offense is terrible and they traded away valuable players in the offseason. Quick has started to turn the corner recently and is 7-0-2 in his last 10 starts against the Hawks. The defense is capable and ranks ninth in expected goals against per 60 minutes at 5v5. Los Angles is expected to play a slow game.

The moneyline for the game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Los Angeles Kings is –265. Chicago is not good but has developed a stingy defensive system under new head coach Luke Richardson. The Hawks rank 12th in the league in GA/60.

The full game Under is a good play for those who would rather go with the 1P Under. The 1p Under has been successful in seven of the last 10 meetings between these two teams. Los Angeles tends to start games slow and Chicago's offense is poor.

The 1P Under has hit in each of Los Angeles’ last six games.
