Staff Preview

Blackhawks vs. Red Wings Prediction: Pass on Detroit at -180

Analysis updated October 29, 2026 at 1:07 AM CDT

Chicago's latest result gives bettors a reason to avoid Detroit's steep home price, especially with neither starting goalie confirmed.

Chicago's latest win matters at this price

DetroitRedWings.com reports that the Red Wings return home from a four-game trip through the West Coast and western Canada to host Chicago at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Detroit is a -180 favorite, with Chicago at +150, but that price isn't backed by verified team records, season statistics or injury information.

Blackhawks.com reports that Chicago beat Los Angeles 2-1 on October 27 behind Spencer Knight's 25 saves on 26 shots. Knight has made at least 24 saves in each of his 10 appearances this season, while Roman Kantserov scored his team-leading fifth goal in the win. Those details make Detroit's price less appealing, though Knight hasn't been confirmed as Chicago's starter.

Prediction

The home moneyline makes Detroit the likelier winner, but neither starting goalie is confirmed and there is no verified line movement. Take Detroit to win, but pass on laying -180.
