Montreal Canadiens vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/11/25

A busy Saturday in the NHL brings us an Original Six matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks. These teams don’t play often, but deep histories for these franchises always brings attention to the matchup. Especially these days, where each team is in the midst of a rebuild, and boast some of the best young talent in the league. Here are come Canadiens vs. Blackhawks predictions.

After each team began their season with a regulation loss, they earned a far better outcome in their second game. Chicago earned a point in a 4-3 overtime loss against the Boston Bruins, but Montreal absolutely cruised to a 5-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings. This likely generated an energy that I expect Montreal to hang onto for some time. While still in a rebuild, this team is making major steps, which includes a playoff appearance last season. At this point, while Chicago is doing the right things, its team overall is young and inexperienced. Montreal, on the other hand, is building a great mix of young and old. I see the Habs taking this Saturday night battle.
