💰 Blues vs. Blackhawks best bet
Tyler Bertuzzi anytime goal (+195) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Blackhawks winger Tyler Bertuzzi is coming off his first hat trick of the season and has scored six total goals over his last six games.
Only the Ducks and Maple Leafs have allowed more goals at five-on-five than the Blues this season, according to MoneyPuck, which makes this a fantastic spot for Bertuzzi to keep his hot streak going.
That's why Bertuzzi is one of my NHL anytime goal scorer predictions today, while our Gary Pearson features a different Bertuzzi play as part of his best NHL player props.

Andre Burakovsky 1+ assists (+158) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Andre Burakovsky has been Chicago's top setup man during the team's current three-game winning streak, with five assists across his last three appearances.
He now ranks second on the team in helpers behind star Connor Bedard, who remains out with an injury. Given that, look for Burakovsky to have the puck on his stick a ton tonight and for him to seek out his teammates for offensive opportunities.
Justin Faulk 2+ shots on goal (-113) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Blues defenseman Justin Faulk is tied for the team lead in shots on goal this season and has gone Over this number in four of his last five games versus the Blackhawks.
No team allows more shots on goal per game to blue-liners than Chicago, allowing an average of 9.4 per contest to opposing defensemen. I expect Faulk to take advantage of that defensive weakness.
