Chicago Blackhawks vs Minnesota Wild Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/27/26

The Minnesota Wild will host the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. The Wild come into this game playing some mediocre hockey of late. They are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games. Being at home is a good sign for the Wild, as they are great in their own building (14-6-7 at the Grand Casino Arena). The main difference between these teams is the ability to produce offense. The Wild are averaging 3.17 goals per game, while the Blackhawks are scoring only 2.65 goals per game with is ranked 27th in the NHL. Minnesota’s powerplay has been lethal since the addition of Quinn Hughes; it is operating at 24.2% on the season. Chicago is the seventh-most penalized team in the league, so look for the Wild’s powerplay to factor into the outcome of this game.

The Blackhawks are averaging the second-fewest shots on goal per game, which doesn’t bode well going up against an explosive team like the Wild. The Wild should be able to dominate this weaker inexperienced Blackhawks team. Give me Minnesota in this one.
