Scouting report
Sprinkle's read:CHI +1.5 puck line★★★★
A dog that keeps it close
Chicago has stayed within a goal in two of their last five, and the puck line pays you for a one-goal loss.
The number
At +1.5 a regulation loss by one still cashes; only a two-goal defeat, empty-netter included, beats it.
The decider
Dobes is the weaker net by a wide margin right now — stopping about eight of ten, well off his own baseline — so Montreal's side of the scoreboard is the one likely to move.
The context
Both clubs are losing, but they are losing differently: Montreal's games are track meets, Chicago's are quiet. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds. Chicago is putting 21.4 shots a game on net and finishing 10.9% of them.
Situational
Neither team is on a back-to-back and both had at least a day off; nothing here is worth adjusting for.
What breaks this
An empty-net goal turns a one-goal loss into two.
