The Boston Bruins (27-19-2, 10-11-1 Away) will try to keep the good times rolling when they start a short, two-game road trip Saturday night against the Chicago Blackhawks (19-21-7, 10-11-4 Home). The puck is scheduled to drop at 8 p.m. EST, Saturday, January 17, with coverage provided by ESPN+.
Fans who watched and enjoyed seeing the Bruins sweep their recent five-game homestand may be thinking, “No problem. They’re on a roll; of course, they’ll keep winning.” But prior to the win over Edmonton on New Year’s Eve, the Bruins lost six in a row and seven of the previous eight. In their current five-game win streak, their defense has been especially good. It recorded two shutouts and allowed just five goals in the win streak. As for Chicago, the Blackhawks got the new year off to a solid start with wins in their first four games of 2026, outscoring opponents 17-10. But their luck has gone the other way in their last four, as the offense has struggled to score, with just six total goals, and has been outscored 12-6. After shutting out the Predators in Nashville last weekend, they lost 4-1 to Edmonton and 3-1 to Calgary (both home games).

Our Chicago Blackhawks vs Boston Bruins Prediction
Boston is rolling, scoring 22 goals while allowing only five during their current win streak, including one shutout (1-0 vs. Pittsburgh) and a 10-2 blowout win over the Rangers. In Chicago’s last five, they had two wins (7-3 and 3-0) and three losses (5-1, 4-1, 3-1). From this, we can say that when the Blackhawks play well, they play really well, but when they don’t…With Chicago iffy and Boston playing so well, it is not hard to figure out the best bet for this game.
