Winnipeg at Chicago

The Jets are 7-1 in their last eight meetings against the Blackhawks. Expect that pattern to continue today. The youthful Blackhawks are 2-7 in their last nine games. They are averaging less than two goals per game during this time frame. Chicago has managed only one power-play goal in these past nine games. The Blackhawks are experimenting a lot with their young players in preparation for next season, which can lead to mistakes. The Jets are 3-1 in their last four games, allowing an average of just two goals per game. This is a huge step down in class for the Jets after they split an away/home series against the Avalanche during their past two games. Colorado is the No. 1 defensive team in the NHL. Chicago ranks 25th defensively and gives up the second-most shots on goal. Winnipeg has scored three or more goals in 13 of its last 17 games. Take the Jets and the OVER.
