Jets vs Blackhawks Prediction
Winnipeg comes into this matchup after a great start to the season and they have allowed two goals or fewer in four of their last five games. The Jets are 2-0-0 on the road this year, while the Blackhawks are 2-1-0 at home. Chicago is coming off of a win, but they have struggled to start the season. The Blackhawks do have Bedard back, which should really help their offense, but I think Winnipeg has the much better overall team. Take the Jets here.
