Detroit vs Chicago Prediction 29 October 2026
π Beating Edmonton on their own ice-coming from behind three times along the way-is a solid way to wrap up a road trip. Detroit Red Wings return home after a four-game stretch, having picked up five out of a possible eight points. Chicago Blackhawks also have reason to celebrate: the Blackhawks rallied past Los Angeles despite trailing early. Now, these Original Six rivals are set to clash in Detroit. Interestingly, both of last seasonβs head-to-head meetings ended with victories for the visiting team.
They were unable to secure a win at home.
π Last season, these teams traded emphatic victories, each coming on the road. First, the Chicago Blackhawks routed the Detroit Red Wings 5-1, only for the Red Wings to respond a month later with a commanding 4-0 shutout. In that game, Alex DeBrincat tallied three points, Patrick Kane notched a goal and an assist, while John Gibson turned aside all 26 shots he faced.
Head-to-head statistics Detroit - Chicago
They know how to come from behind.
Detroit have been alternating between strong performances and setbacks so far. After 12 games, Todd McLellanβs side have collected 14 points, posting five wins along the way. Up front, Alex DeBrincat has stood out with 13 points (6 goals, 7 assists), while Lucas Raymond has already tallied eight assists. Injuries to Daniil Tarasov have raised fresh questions about the goaltending situation, but the teamβs most recent outing showed that the Red Wings still have some unexpected solutions in net.
In Edmonton, Michal Postawa made his NHL debut between the pipes. The netminder stopped 25 of 28 shots and then turned away every attempt in the shootout. Detroit had to come from behind three times-first Victor Arvidsson found the net, then Emmitt Finney, and with just over a minute and a half left, Dylan Larkin leveled the score once again. In the shootout, Raymond delivered the decisive goal (4-3). That result capped off Detroitβs road trip with two wins, one regulation loss, and one defeat beyond regulation.
Match Results: Detroit Red Wings
Youngsters deliver results
Chicago have picked up four wins and suffered four defeats on home ice so far. The team are still searching for consistency, but several players have already made their mark. Roman Kantserov leads all NHL rookies with five goals, while Connor Bedard has tallied six points (2 goals, 4 assists). Patrick Kane has racked up eight points, including seven assists. Spencer Knight boasts a .897 save percentage, and his performances have often kept the Blackhawks in contention.
In their most recent game against Los Angeles, Chicago got off to a rough start but managed to turn things around. Kantserov converted on the power play in the second period to tie the score, and Wyatt Kaiser netted the game-winner in the third off a feed from Kane. Knight stopped 25 of 26 shots, preserving the narrow lead until the final horn (2-1). That marked Chicagoβs fourth win of the season and a strong finish to a seven-game homestand.
Match Results: Chicago Blackhawks
First Period Prediction
Detroit Red Wings have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in the first period in 11 of their last 12 home games against the Chicago Blackhawks. Recently, Detroit are averaging just one goal in the opening period of their home fixtures. The smart play here is Detroit Red Wings under 1.5 goals in the first period at odds of 1.32.
Match Outcome Prediction
Chicago Blackhawks have lost in regulation in 9 of their last 10 NHL road games. This season, they are yet to secure an away win, while Detroit Red Wings have picked up three home victories. Backing a Detroit Red Wings win in regulation at odds of 1.93 looks like a solid choice.
Total Goals Prediction
The over 5.5 goals line has hit in five consecutive head-to-head matchups played in Detroit. Recently, the Detroit Red Wings are averaging 3.6 goals scored and conceded per home game, while the Chicago Blackhawks are posting 2 goals for and 4 against on the road. Based on these trends, weβre backing over 5.5 total goals at odds of 1.7.
βοΈ Editorβs Prediction
Chicago managed to shut down Los Angeles, but now their defense faces a new test against Detroit. The Red Wings just put three past Edmonton, answering every goal they conceded with one of their own. Over their last five games, Detroit have averaged three goals per outing. For Chicago, itβs the opposite story-three goals conceded per game over the same stretch. Even after Knightβs strong performance against the Kings, itβs hard to see the visitors enjoying another comfortable night. My pick: Detroit Red Wings over 2.5 goals (team total).
