Winnipeg Jets vs Chicago Blackhawks Preview, Prediction, and Odds | February 23 2024

Connor Bedard Chicago Blackhawks vs. Los Angeles Kings

Central Division rivals are meeting again, with the Winnipeg Jets (34-15-5) ready to face the Chicago Blackhawks (15-39-3).

The Jets are 2-0-1 against Chicago this season, having only allowed four goals in those games. They’re currently chasing the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche for the most points in the division. With wins in four of their past five contests, let’s see if Winnipeg can pick up two more points.

As for the Blackhawks, they have the fewest points in the entire NHL. However, two of them are against the Jets, one of the teams they’ve played the toughest during this rough campaign. 11 of the team’s 15 wins are at home, so Chicago is hoping that Friday can provide a rare victory.

After this battle, the Jets and Blackhawks won’t cross paths until next season. How will they bid each other farewell?

Jets vs. Blackhawks Prediction

This matchup has played out three times already, with each one easily finishing under the total. The Blackhawks, who average the fewest goals per game, finished the first trio of matchups with exactly one goal against Winnipeg after 60 minutes. The Jets allow the fewest goals per game, so that shouldn’t change on Friday.

In Chicago’s last nine games, six finished under the total. In the three that didn’t, they allowed at least four goals. For all of the Blackhawks’ holes, they only allow 2.93 goals per game in the United Center. Winnipeg barely averages more than three goals per game, and when they’re winning it’s not because of an unstoppable offense.

For the season, each team has played 11 more games that finished under the total than over it. We’ve seen this particular film multiple times already, so don’t anticipate a different ending. Take the under.

Prediction: Under 5.5 (-110)
