After ending the 2024-25 season with the second-worst record in the Western Conference, the Blackhawks are off to a pleasant 4-3-2 start to the 2025-26 season.

The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +122 home underdogs against an Ottawa Senators team that blew up offensively last night, defeating the Boston Bruins 7-2.
