Young stars Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard are challenging established legends in the NHL scoring race and revitalizing their teams.

A short time later, the 20-year-old was celebrating the second hat trick of his NHL career in a 5-2 win against the Calgary Flames at United Center. The No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft has emerged as the undisputed leader of the Blackhawks (10-5-4), who are 5-0-1 in their past six games.

The Chicago Blackhawks have started the season on a surprisingly strong note, sparking renewed optimism among fans who are beginning to dream about a return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2020.

A wager on the Blackhawks offense at over 2.5 goals at -166 odds with an $257.17 bankroll would return a profit of $154.30, for a total payout of $411.47 in return. A safe pick but one that will hopefully get us to a new season high and closer than ever to the $1,000 bench mark.
