Final Thoughts
The Jets should be able to get the win on their home ice in this matchup on Thursday night. But I think that the Blackhawks will cover the puckline as the underdog on the road. Chicago is playing well lately and they have been a cash cow on the puckline throughout the season. I’ll bank on that trend continuing here and for the Blackhawks to keep this game within a goal or to win it outright.
