Jets vs Blackhawks prediction
Jets vs Blackhawks best bet: Blackhawks team total Under 2.5 (+100)
The Chicago Blackhawks are a dismal 5-12 SU since the Olympic break ended, and their offense — or lack thereof — a big reason why.
Chicago is dead-last at 2.34 goals per game since February 24. They’re also 23rd in goals allowed per game in this stretch because they’re constantly chasing the puck.
The Blackhawks are second-worst in both shots for and shots against per game since the Olympics ended.

The Winnipeg Jets are 10th in goals allowed per game in March, getting their usual good goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck. This is playable down to -120.
Jets vs Blackhawks same-game parlay
The Blackhawks have been more than kind to opposing defensemen this season, which is why I’m backing both Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk in this +700 SGP.
Morrissey has notched an assist in four straight games, and Chicago has served up the seventh-most points per game to the position.
Pionk has had multiple shots on goal in four of five games since returning to the lineup. The ‘Hawks allow the third-most shots per game to blueliners.
