NHL TNT Wednesday Night Hockey Oilers vs Blackhawks Odds
| Matchup | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
| Oilers | -1.5 (-110) | -285 | Over 6.5 (-115) |
| @ Blackhawks | +1.5 (-110) | +230 | Under 6.5 (-105) |
The Oilers (-285) are heavy favorites against the Blackhawks, reflecting the significant gap in talent and performance between the two teams. Edmonton is one of the top teams in the Western Conference, while Chicago continues its rebuild and struggles to find consistency.
Edmonton’s -1.5 puck line (-110) is an attractive option for those looking for better value, as they have consistently beaten weaker teams by multiple goals. Meanwhile, Chicago (+230), as a home underdog, could provide a high-risk, high-reward play if they manage to keep the game close and capitalize on limited scoring chances.
The total for this matchup is set at 6.5 goals, with odds slightly favoring the over (-115). Given Edmonton’s high-powered offense and Chicago’s defensive issues, it wouldn’t be surprising to see plenty of goals in this one.

The Oilers (+650) to win the Stanley Cup have some of the best odds among Western Conference teams, thanks to their elite offensive core and strong playoff pedigree. With Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman producing at an elite level, Edmonton remains a legitimate championship contender.
Their Western Conference Final odds (+270) reflect their ability to compete with the best teams in the West, and their Pacific Division odds (-210) indicate that they are currently the favorites to win their division.
The “OTB" (Off the Board) listing for their playoff odds suggests that sportsbooks are almost certain that the Oilers will secure a postseason spot, making futures bets on division and conference success more appealing for bettors.
If the Oilers can solidify their goaltending and defensive depth, they have the firepower necessary to make a deep playoff run and potentially lift the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1990.

The Blackhawks (+50000) have the longest odds in the league to win the Stanley Cup, underscoring the challenges of their rebuild. With a young core led by Connor Bedard, Chicago is still in the early stages of development, and oddsmakers do not expect them to be serious contenders this season.
Their Western Conference odds (+25000) and Central Division odds (OTB) reflect the same reality—Chicago is not expected to compete for a playoff spot this season. This aligns with their ongoing roster overhaul and struggles in a tough division featuring powerhouses like Colorado and Dallas.
While the future is bright with Bedard, the Blackhawks remain focused on long-term growth rather than short-term success. Bettors looking at futures markets should view Chicago as a team to monitor for next season rather than invest in for 2024-25.
