Connor Bedard makes his home debut Saturday night as the Blackhawks take on the defending Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights. The hype will be at an all-time high — see if our NHL picks think there's substance to back it up.These conference foes squared off three times last season, with Vegas winning two of the three meetings.
Connor Bedard and company finally get to make their home debut after a much needed off day on Friday, and the United Center will be full as it is a sell-out. I just think nearly 2/1 is too long of a number on the Blackhawks to pull off the upset in their home debut, especially after what should be a wake-up call from their lifeless performance against the Avs.
Saturday could be that awaited let-down spot for Vegas, especially after a shootout victory over the Dallas Stars and 5-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, two teams that will be firmly in the Western Conference playoff race. Add the fact that the game is going to be in a sold-out United Center for this new-look Chicago lineup’s home debut, and it’s worth taking a shot on the underdogs in this spot.
Meanwhile, Athanasiou is, by a pretty wide margin, the second most offensively skilled player on this roster. He ranks third on the team in xGF/60 at 5-on-5, only behind Tyler Johnson who has gotten a ton of good looks net-front.
