The Chicago Blackhawks (2-1) head to Vegas to face the Golden Knights (3-1) on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Vegas has the better record, which is reflected in the betting odds. The Golden Knights are favored on the moneyline at -258, meaning you’d have to bet $258 to win $100. Chicago is the underdog at +210, offering a nice payout if they pull off the upset.
Looking at the spread, Chicago is given +1.5 goals at -125 odds. This means if you bet $125 on Chicago, you win if they lose by one goal or win outright. Vegas is at -1.5 goals with +105 odds, so a $100 bet wins if Vegas wins by two or more goals. The slightly better payout on the home spread suggests Vegas might not run away with this one but is still favored to win comfortably.
The game total is set at 5.5 goals. The over is priced at -135, meaning it’s a bit more expensive to bet on more than 5.5 goals scored. The under is at +114, offering a better payout if you think the teams will combine for five or fewer goals.
In summary, Vegas looks like the safer moneyline bet given their record and home advantage. If you want some cushion, Chicago’s +1.5 spread is a solid option. For those expecting offense, the over is favored but comes at a higher price. The lines suggest a competitive game with Vegas slightly ahead.
