Chicago comes into this game in last place in the Central standings and they have lost four games in a row. The Blackhawks have been out scored 18-5 during those three games and goal scoring has been a huge issue for them. Vegas has won two games in a row and they completed a great third period comeback against Colorado last time out. Vegas is 26-11-2 at home, while Chicago is 7-31-1 on the road. The Blackhawks have been awful on the road and we can’t count on them to score more than two goals in a game. Give me Vegas -1.5 here.
