Detroit Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 12/13/25

The Detroit Red Wings will be visiting the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday evening. The Blackhawks will be without the main driver of their offense, Connor Bedard, after he suffered an injury late in their game against the St. Louis Blues on Friday night. Without Bedard, the Blackhawks go from a playoff bubble team, to a draft lottery team. Everything this team was going to accomplish ran through him. I expect this to have a significant impact on their offensive output.

The Red Wings come into this game just 4-4-2 in their last 10 games, but going up against the Blackhawks without Bedard with be a perfect opportunity to get things back on track. They have a very deep forward group, that is headlined by two sets of duos that have elite chemistry. Dylan Larkin is flanked by Lucas Raymond, while Patrick Kane and Alex Debrincat have chemistry dating back to their days in Chicago. These two lines can produce offense at a rate that the Blackhawks won’t be able to keep pace with. Give me the Red Wings on the puck line in this one.

Red Wings vs Blackhawks prediction: Detroit -1.5 (+130) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
