Wednesday the defending Stanley Cup champs will try and slow down the red-hot Los Angeles Kings in Wednesday NHL wagering online. The Blackhawks are at home so they will likely be a popular NHL bet at the Sbg sportsbook but the Kings come into this game with the better record.
Blackhawks 5-4-1
Chicago has been up and down this season but they are above .500. Chicago played a lot of games early as they were the first team in the NHL to reach 10 games played. Chicago could have won some of those ten games but with the tough schedule it is hard to find too much fault with the defending champs other than in goal. Marty Turco will get his wins but he will also play poorly at times. The backup is Corey Crawford and he has played pretty well in limited action. The Blackhawks still have some potent scorers including Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. The Blackhawks also have Duncan Keith on defense but they are missing Brian Campbell. Not to be forgotten is Patrick Sharp who leads the team in goals with eight and Marian Hossa who has seven.
Rested Hawks
The Blackhawks finally got a rest as they have not played since Saturday. Chicago should do well in this game on Wednesday against the Kings but Los Angeles is off to a great start. The Blackhawks have won six of the last ten meetings against Los Angeles including the last two. The best trend in this game is the under.
