Blackhawks Spotlight:

The return of Patrick Kane and Jonathon Toews from the COVID protocol list have helped the Chicago Blackhawks offensive production.  The offense is definitely on an upswing from the dismal 2.27 goals per game. It is unsure who will start in net tonight but both Fluery and Lankinen have been subpar with a .886 save percentage and .829 save percentage .


Jets Spotlight: 

After starting 0-2-1, the Winnipeg Jets are 5-0-1 in their last six and are undefeated at home, outscoring opponents 15-8, while averaging over four goals. Offensively, Winnipeg is 11th in the league in goals and average 3.11 goals a night. Defensively, the Jets are tied for 19th in goals against, averaging 3 goals per contest. While the Jets power play is strong tied for 6th in the league, their penalty kill ranks among the worst tied at 31st.


Final Say:

Winnipeg is on fire with a 5-0-1 record in their last six games and is undefeated in all three of its home games, outscoring opponents with at least four goals in each game.  Chicago has lost all five road games this season and have been outscored 16-8 in the process. History is on our side as well, as the Jets have won six of the last seven meetings in Winnipeg.


Pick: Jets (-176)

Pick: over 6 (-110)
