  • Overall Record: 27-34-13
  • Home Record: 13-16-7
  • Road Record: 14-18-6
  • Top Goal Scorer: Tyler Bertuzzi (30)

The Chicago Blackhawks will be playing for nothing more than pride in their remaining NHL matchups, as they look set to finish the season at the bottom of the Central Division.

Chicago’s form has dipped once again in recent weeks, losing each of their last three, and winning just three of their last ten games. The Blackhawks were last in action earlier this week, as they were easily beaten 5-3 by a Jack Hughes-inspired New Jersey Devils.

Winnipeg Jets Stats & Team News

  • Overall Record: 31-30-12
  • Home Record: 18-14-6
  • Road Record: 13-16-6
  • Top Goal Scorer: Mark Scheifele (34)

The increased pressure this week is likely to be on the Winnipeg Jets, as they will need a strong end to the regular season to stand any chance of making the playoffs.

Winnipeg comes into this clash at the United Center in reliable form, winning five of their last ten, and suffering just three regulation time defeats in the same period. The Jets showed their character in their latest outing, as they battled to a 4-2 road win over the Colorado Avalanche.

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Winnipeg Jets Pick

The Blackhawks confidence will be extremely low following a poor run of results. Therefore, the away win is the standout angle worth following, as the Jets bid to keep their playoff dreams alive.
