Below the fellas breakdown their picks/predictions for the 2024 NHL Winter Classic between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks.

2024 NHL Winter Classic

St. Louis Blues @ Chicago Blackhawks

*Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL | Dec. 31st, 2024 5:00 PM E.T. on TNT*

Key’s Picks:

St. Louis Blues (-140) .5u

Honestly this game is a toss up. Both teams aren’t great but Chicago is 1-4 in their last 5. This is going to be a nibble for me.

Under 5.5 Goals (-112) .5u

Riding history here and weather. They are saying weather could be a concern for the game today with some rain. In addition to that, if the last 15 winter classics, 10 of which have been under 5 goals. So we’re going to nibble the under here. 

Jordan Kyrou Anytime Goal Scorer (+190) .5u

Best Blues player and in his last 11 games vs Blackhawks he has at least a point in 9 of them, including 2 consecutive 2 goal games. He loves to destroy the Blackhawks

Lambo’s Picks:

• The Lambo Winter Classic Parlay (+1725) 1u
  • Under 5.5 Goals
  • Chicago ML
  • Taylor Hall 1+ Points 
  • Dylan Holloway 3+ Shots on Goal

Winter Classic is here, but the goals are not definite.  Most Winter Classic games have been low-scoring games to go along with both teams in the bottom 6 for scoring.  Hopefully we get some fights as well. 

Next leg… I think this will be a very close game maybe even go into OT and if we lucky a shootout.  But in the end, Bedsy, Jonesy, and Hallsy will push the Blackhawks to the dub. 

Onto Leg 3. He may be going through a funk so far this year but Taylor hall, 2010 1st overall pick, still got that juice in him.  This man used to pull a beaten dog of a devils team to the playoffs and usually sits around a point a game in his career.  The dog is going to come back starting this game. 

The last leg is more a fun one Dylan Holloway, 2020 14th overall pick, has maybe not been the best scorer but the man takes shots whenever he has the chance.  In the last 5 games he has 17 shots. 

We all need a good New Years parlay to start the year might as well start with a bang.

Emperor’s Pick:

Connor Bedard o0.5 Points (-145) 2u

I am not a Puck guy, however I am trying to get into the sport. That being said, one of the biggest games every year in the NHL is the Winter Classic and this year it takes place on New Years Eve. Gonna be at a buddies watching so why wouldn’t I take part?

Big-time players make big-time plays. I want action on the Winter Classic so I’m riding with the young superstar who has a great first name. Averaging 1PPG, I love this (although his stats against the Blues aren’t good whatsoever, this game is outside. Anything can happen.)

Let’s ride.

Bonus Parlay

• The Key & Emperor 2024 Winter Classic Parlay (+154)
