Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Chicago Blackhawks Prediction: October 13, 2026
Analysis updated October 13, 2026 at 7:31 AM CDT
Pittsburgh's recent success against Chicago points to the favorite, but the available evidence does not justify a wager at -148.
Penguins vs. Blackhawks prediction
Pittsburgh went 2-0-0 against Chicago last season with a 13-5 scoring advantage, according to the Pittsburgh Penguins / NHL.com game preview. The Penguins have also earned points in eight of the past 11 meetings and four of their last five visits to United Center. Those results make Pittsburgh the likelier winner, but the SPF price requires bettors to risk $148 to win $100 on the road favorite.
Pittsburgh Hockey Now projects Arturs Silovs to start in goal for the Penguins, but explicitly identifies that assignment as unconfirmed. With no confirmed goaltenders, current records, injury reports or broader season statistics available, there is not enough game-specific evidence to support Pittsburgh at -148, Chicago at +124 or either side of the 6.5 total.
Betting outlook
Pittsburgh's recent head-to-head record supports a low-confidence prediction that the Penguins will win. It does not make their moneyline worthwhile at this price, and missing information is not a reason to back Chicago. The best betting decision is to pass.
