Chicago Blackhawks vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/16/25

Tuesday night in the NHL brings us an Original Six matchup between the Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs. Neither has lots going for them, as Chicago is facing a major injury and Toronto is desperately searching for consistency. To get you set for an important game, here is our Blackhawks vs. Maple Leafs prediction.

The Blackhawks remain without superstar Connor Bedard who was injured at the end of a recent game against the St. Louis Blues. They’ve only played one game since then, but looked lifeless in a 4-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. I see them having trouble yet again in this game. Time seems to already be running out for the Maple Leafs to solidify themselves as a playoff contender this season. While they are 1-1-2 in their last four games, the team has shown signs of resurgence, with a 5-2-2 record in their last nine games. This team is just too talented, with too high expectations outside the locker room and within themselves. They are in a position to prove many wrong. On home ice taking on a weaker and depleted team, I see them getting the job done in regulation. For our Blackhawks vs. Maple Leafs prediction, take Toronto on the 3-way money line.
