Chicago Blackhawks vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/08/24

The 2024-25 NHL season has already begun, but with a 3-game slate on this Tuesday, the amazing NHL action is officially upon us. Ending this exciting night is an enticing matchup between Connor Bedard’s Chicago Blackhawks and the newly-relocated Utah Hockey Club, formerly the Arizona Coyotes. This will be the home opener for Utah, and the building will be rocking for the first official NHL regular season game. We are helping you get ready for the big game with our Blackhawks vs. Hockey Club picks.

This game should be very exciting, with a young and improved Blackhawks team and a Utah club that would love to begin its new tenure with a win. When comparing the teams, Utah has much more depth and has much more to get revved up for. The HC’s roster is lead by newly-named captain and offensive dynamo Clayton Keller, and consists of a great mix of young and old up and down the lineup. The roster is similar to last season’s in Arizona but has bolstered the blue line with trades for Mikhail Sergachev and John Marino. Chicago made some nice additions in Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen, but there is a major difference in both offensive ability and overall depth — both in favor of Utah. Plus, the inaugural regular-season game in Utah is not one its players want to lose. With that being said, our Blackhawks vs. Hockey Club prediction is to take the Utah Hockey Club money line.
