Florida Panthers vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/25/26

The Florida Panthers are travelling to Chicago to face the Blackhawks for the second and final time this season. The Panthers are playing the tail end of a back-to-back series and their third game in four nights, which may lead to fatigue. However, they are the stronger team on paper. Brad Marchand returned to the lineup yesterday against Minnesota and made an immediate impact by scoring two goals. Matthew Tkachuk is also starting to resemble his former self, bringing positive momentum to a team that has been severely affected by injuries.

The Blackhawks put up a good fight against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday but scored only one goal, ultimately losing in a shootout. They are rested and mostly healthy, but still lack scoring depth up front. This game is likely to be close, especially due to the goalie matchup, which gives the Blackhawks some hope. Overall, this matchup could go either way, but we lean slightly towards Florida because of the many impact players they have on their roster.
