When it comes to the Central Division, the bottom of it features both the Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks. Now those two teams face off against one another. While they aren’t elite teams, both are coming off wins -- and I'm here to add to the matchup with our best Jets vs Blackhawks prediction.
Not only is Winnipeg coming off a victory, but they are also on a five-game winning streak. Their hot streak is even more impressive because they just took down the Dallas Stars 8-3 on the road following impressive wins over the New Jersey Devils and Tampa Bay Lightning. With the total up at 6.5 goals, I would lean toward the Under with Chicago’s inability to generate consistent offense -- but I still see more value just backing Winnipeg with this Jets vs Blackhawks prediction. The Jets should be able to extend their winning streak to six even without former star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck given the matchup, while Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele are already enough to provide efficient scoring.
Jets vs Blackhawks prediction: Winnipeg 3-way ML (+110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -115.
