Blackhawks vs. Jets Pick
Money line pick for Blackhawks vs. Jets
Jets -1.5 +102 (4 units)
Winnipeg has been one of the top teams in the NHL again, and this is a great spot for Winnipeg to not only win the game, but also win by multiple goals. Hellebuyck has been stellar again and he should limit Chicago's offense and not allow them to have the game they just did. The Blackhawks are still a young team that makes some mistakes, which will lead to Jets goals, as Winnipeg should also add an empty-netter to get a big win.
Over/Under pick for Blackhawks vs. Jets
Over 5.5 goals -135 (5 units)
The over is a great spot here as Chicago plays a fast, aggressive style which leads to plenty of goals. Winnipeg also has a solid offense that can score, as I expect this to be a 4-2, 5-2 type of win for the Jets here. Although Knight and Hellebuyck are two solid goalies, the offenses are hot, and that should be the difference.
