Connor Hellebuyck vs. Spencer Knight
It’s a mismatch on paper, but anything can happen when the Jets (54-21-4) visit the Blackhawks (23-46-10) tonight.
Hellebuyck is having a monster year. He just notched his eighth shutout—yes, eighth—after blanking the Stars with 25 saves. He’s now 45-12-3 with a jaw-dropping 1.99 GAA and .925 save percentage through 61 games, setting career highs across the board. The Jets are rolling, and their All-Star goalie is a massive reason why.
Meanwhile, Knight has been fighting it lately. He’s surrendered 4+ goals in 6 of his last 9 starts and carries a 3.57 GAA and .870 save percentage. The tools are there, but the support isn’t.

In goal, we’ve got a tale of two very different seasons—Connor Hellebuyck vs. Spencer Knight. I think Knight could steal the show today though.

Winnipeg picked up a 7-4 road win over the Lightning, bringing their record to 54-21-4. The Jets covered the puck line as -1.5 goal favorites, and the total of 11 goals easily surpassed the pre-game line of 6.5 goals.
All seven of Winnipeg’s goals came from different players, and they trailed 2-0 early before rallying. The Jets took the lead for good with a goal at 12:22 in the third period, and they added two empty-netters to seal the victory.

Vladislav Namestnikov opened the scoring for the Jets in the first period, his third goal of the season. Logan Stanley followed with his first goal of the year, while Mark Scheifele added his eighth. Dylan Samberg netted his third goal, and Alex Iafallo scored his first, which came on a power play. Nikolaj Ehlers, with his ninth goal, and Cole Perfetti, who now has four goals, both scored on empty nets.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Blackhawks +1.5
When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Blackhawks to defeat the Jets while playing at home. Given the current moneyline odds at +226, I’m placing a wager on the Blackhawks to win outright.
Our projections have the Blackhawks pulling out a win as the underdog. Bet them on the Puck Line too if you like.
When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the OVER. WAY Over.
