Connor Bedard put three shots on goal and contributed an assist in Chicago’s 2–1 win over Los Angeles. He didn’t need to score a goal to make a useful contribution. For Blackhawks parlay picks built around another Chicago win, this time at Detroit, his shot ladder offers a clear place to start.
Bedard’s two-shot requirement is one of three individual options in this Side & Support edition. Moritz Seider can keep shooting for Detroit even in a Red Wings loss, while Viktor Arvidsson’s assist under leaves room for him to score a goal without recording a helper. They ask for different actions within the same team-result premise.
The Blackhawks enter 4–8, and Detroit is 5–4–3. This is a hypothetical Chicago-win scenario, not a prediction supplied by the player records. Compare the contributions and prices below, then choose a single prop or your own combination.
Three props to compare with a Chicago win
Bedard and Seider’s records cover their current-club appearances from the 2025–26 season through October 27, 2026. Arvidsson’s Detroit record covers only his twelve appearances this season. Each all-game comparison uses the same dates, team and actual ice-time rule as its win or loss record. Losses include overtime and shootout defeats.
These individual DraftKings prices were checked Thursday afternoon, October 29. Prices can change; the live card above has its own update for the game markets.

Connor Bedard: 2+ shots on goal at −290
Bedard reached two shots on goal in 23 of 27 Chicago wins (85.2%), compared with 60 of 75 Blackhawks appearances overall (80.0%). The winning record is stronger, but this is also a relatively modest shooting requirement across his broader Chicago history.
His six appearances this season have produced three, three, two, one, two and three shots on goal. He cleared two in all three Chicago wins in which he played. In the latest victory over Los Angeles, he played 19:21 and finished with three shots and one assist. His previous game against Florida brought two shots in 23:09, so the recent shooting case isn’t confined to victories.
The important price comparison is 3+ shots on goal at −110. That is a much less expensive choice than −290, but it occurred in only 20 of 27 Chicago wins and 49 of 75 appearances overall. Three shots also landed in only three of his six games this season. Moving down to two preserves three additional successes in the historical winning sample, at the cost of a shorter price.
There are meaningful misses even when Chicago wins comfortably. Bedard had zero shots on goal in the 5–2 victory over San Jose on April 15 Eastern time, despite playing 17:51 and supplying two assists. His passing helped without producing the required shots. He also recorded only one shot in the February 2 Eastern-time win. Those games make it useful to distinguish a shooting prop from a general expectation that Bedard will contribute to a Blackhawks win.
His expected first-line center role and recent ice time support considering two shots, while six current appearances remain a small recent sample. Choose this requirement if you want the lower shooting task; choose a higher rung only if you accept the different record that comes with it.
Moritz Seider: 2+ shots on goal at −225
Seider’s two-shot record is worth considering from the other side of the matchup. He reached it in 39 of 48 Detroit losses (81.3%), against 64 of 94 Red Wings appearances overall (68.1%). Detroit doesn’t have to win for its defenseman to keep putting shots on goal.
The current season is mixed rather than perfect. Seider has reached two shots in nine of twelve games, including five of seven Detroit losses. His last three games brought zero against Vancouver, then three against Calgary and three against Edmonton. His ice time in those games was 23:23, 24:43 and 30:07.
The available 3+ shots price was +125. Seider reached three in only 25 of 48 Detroit losses and 39 of 94 appearances overall. Two shots at −225 therefore offers a substantially lower requirement than the plus-money line; the extra shot removes fourteen successes from the losing sample. A bigger potential return doesn’t make those two requirements equivalent.
The misses weren’t simply low-minute games. Seider had zero shots on goal in 29:33 in the October 10 loss at Montreal and only one in 22:23 against Seattle the night before. Vancouver’s recent zero came in a Detroit win, but it is another reminder that heavy usage doesn’t dictate his shot total.
This option fits a Chicago-win view that still allows Detroit to generate chances. It doesn’t require the Red Wings to be shut down or Seider to record a point. His expected place on Detroit’s first defensive pair provides role context; the actual two-shot record, including the misses, is the reason to compare the offer.
Viktor Arvidsson: under 0.5 assists at −220
Arvidsson recorded no assist in all seven Detroit losses (100.0%), compared with eight of twelve Red Wings appearances overall (66.7%). That is the sharpest split in this table, but also the smallest history: it covers this season’s first twelve Detroit appearances, without pooling games for another club.
The distinction between assists and points matters here. In three of those seven Detroit losses, Arvidsson scored a goal while recording no assist. His helper under succeeded even though a broader bet on him to finish without a point would have failed. The actual under-0.5 points price was +110, but that stricter no-point outcome occurred in only four of seven Detroit losses and five of twelve appearances overall.
His latest games show the other side of the assist case. Arvidsson had two assists in the win at Vancouver, none in the loss at Calgary, then a goal and an assist in the shootout win at Edmonton. He played 13:59, 20:19 and 18:11 respectively. The current record doesn’t describe a forward who has stopped creating offense; it describes how his assists have fallen across a short set of Detroit results.
There is also a material personnel change: Detroit lists Dylan Larkin out for this game. That changes the forward context from the games behind these records, and the final deployment shouldn’t be assumed from the earlier line arrangement. Arvidsson is listed on the first line in the current matchup personnel, but the seven-loss perfect record deserves less weight if you’re expecting a different offensive role tonight.
At −220, the assist under is the least expensive selected price. Its small perfect losing sample is a reason to examine the distinction, not a forecast that the next Detroit defeat must arrive without an Arvidsson helper. It remains compatible with him scoring, shooting and playing meaningful minutes.
Choosing your Chicago route
Bedard’s two shots offer the direct Chicago-player route and the strongest longer-history conditional frequency of the two shooting choices. Seider’s two shots allow Detroit’s activity to continue in a loss, at a less expensive individual price. Arvidsson’s assist under has the shortest history and the most immediate personnel concern, even though its seven losing games were all successful.
Compare those differences before deciding which belongs with your view of Chicago. Seider’s shots and Arvidsson’s assists involve the same Detroit offense; separate records don’t make the choices independent or supply a combined success rate. If you combine selections, use the sportsbook’s actual quote.
