Florida comes into Chicago on the second night of a back-to-back after an overtime win in Minnesota, and the spot matters as much as the matchup. The Panthers are still priced like the better team, but the schedule is doing the Blackhawks a favor here. Chicago has played two strong games against elite opponents, and the effort level is finally matching the urgency of a fringe playoff chase. The Blackhawks have quietly gone 2-0-1 over their last three, and they have done it by playing tighter late and getting reliable saves in high-leverage moments. Florida has also steadied, winning two straight and five of seven, but this trip through Western Conference opponents is a grind, and legs can go fast

Pittsburgh has been one of the league’s cleanest betting profiles since the Christmas break, and the current form is loud. The Penguins are 10-2-2 in that stretch, they’ve been dictating game state early, and they now have a chance to sweep a four-game road trip when they hit Rogers Arena on Sunday night.

The effort has not been the issue, but the conversion has, and now they draw one of the league’s most complete road travelers. This one goes Sunday at 5:00 PM at

New Jersey has handled this Western swing the right way: tight games, clean structure, and enough scoring depth to survive when the top line is not doing everything. The Devils are 3-0 on the trip and five wins in their last six overall, and you can see the confidence in how they’re rolling four lines and keeping pace high without cheating for offense. Seattle is trending the other direction. The Kraken have dropped seven of their last nine, and the bigger issue is how often they’re chasing the game after slow starts. Even in their better stretches, the details have been disconnected early, and it’s hard to bet into a team that keeps spotting opponents the first period. This matchup
