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.

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.
