Latest Odds : CHI -120 Total 6
The Blackhawks are looking to have a better season than what they had last season. However, the Blackhawks are going to have some problems as the team did pick up a 4-1 win in their last preseason game over the Blue Jackets. The problem is the Blackhawks really looked sloppier than what the 4-1 victory would show.
One player the Blackhawks would like to see bounce back on the year is Corey Crawford who was cleared to practice last Monday, but still had a lot of issues during the offseason. What can be worse for the Blackhawks is Crawford may not make the start in this game.

The Senators are coming into the game here as a team that is definitely looking like they are in the middle of a rebuild yet again. However, the fans are starting to get tired of the rebuilds all the time and that can definitely be an issue for the Senators who are really looking to bounce back on the year, but it could be a year or two before the team can make the change.
The telltale sign of how bad of a season this could be for the Senators is the fact the offense was missing in the preseason as the team ended up only winning 2 games on the year and dropped 4 games early on.

Free Betting Pick: Chicago Blackhawks -120
The Blackhawks have picked up a lot of players coming back from injury last year and avoided a lot of the off ice distractions that caught them short last year. The Blackhawks are also looking to have Crawford come back soon, but against the very weak offense of the Senators it is easy to see the Blackhawks not rush him back. Final Score, Chicago Blackhawks win easily 4-1.
