Blackhawks vs Maple Leafs predictions and NHL picks for Tuesday, December 16. Bedard's injury looms large for visitors.
With Conor Bedard sidelined, the Blackhawks will struggle to generate offense, which will allow the Maple Leafs to step up and win by multiple goals.The Chicago Blackhawks will be without Connor Bedard on the road tonight, and I anticipate that being a big problem as they face a motivated Toronto Maple Leafs team coming off a tough loss.
Firstly, the Hawks will be without Connor Bedard, who injured his shoulder late last week. Bedard has factored in on 48% of Chicago’s total goals this season, so I don't have much confidence in this team generating much offense without him. Secondly, Chicago has struggled to keep the puck out of the net while on the road this season, allowing 3.5 goals per outing. This leads me to the third reason I’m backing the Buds to have a big night: It’s time for the big boys to break through. Craig Berube called out his stars after Saturday's Edmonton loss, and I expect a response from his top offensive contributors. Furthermore, I’m anticipating a Leafs offensive explosion tonight and don't expect much from a Bedard-less Hawks team, which should allow the Leafs to cover the plus-money puck line.Matthews has been a shooting machine lately, averaging four shots per game over his last nine outings since returning from injury. Additionally, the Hawks allow the fifth-most shots on goal per game this season.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
