Winnipeg Jets vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction

The Chicago Blackhawks still can’t find easy offense and the losses continue to pile up. It’s harder and harder to back the Blackhawks on a nightly basis, especially when going up against good teams. The Winnipeg Jets have seen 10 of their 19 wins come on the road, and they’ve won 9 of the last 10 games against the Blackhawks. There’s just not much reason to even look in the direction of the Blackhawks in this spot. Give me the Jets and of course, I lay the PL to shave down the expensive price.
