This is a 6* FAN APPRECIATION BIG-CHALK PUCK-LINE PLAY on the Hawks.

We play totals. We play dogs. We play chalk. We gamble on sports. We don't limit ourselves in any manner.

Amassing a winning record by only playing chalk, is just as impressive as creating a winning record (in money line sports), by only betting dogs. Neither of those paths is any easier than the other.

I've found that using a mix of favorites and underdogs over the course of the regular season has worked well for me.

The Insiders Room DISCORD is going suggest laying some chalk here for the extra 1.5 goals in our back pocket.

Chicago will be desperate here after losing back-to-back games to the Lightning, most recently 7-4.

These clubs have similar numbers on both ends of the ice. The Panthers hold a 4-2 series lead, so Chicago has one last chance here to at least move it to 4-3.

After a 7-4 road win over the Predators, we expect Florida to take a step back here. The finish line is in sight, and we're expecting the more desperate home side to take this one right down to the wire.

The play is CHICAGO on the PUCK-LINE.

Good luck, NP
