Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
Winnipeg is aiming to keep its winning ways going against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. The Jets are just three points out of a playoff spot, and they’ll be watching the outta town scoreboard a lot as they aim to get just one point out of the final wild-card spot. Winnipeg is riding high after a big 4-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night, and they’ll aim to have that carry over. The Jets are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games played
Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes:
The Chicago Blackhawks welcome the Winnipeg Jets to the United Center for a Central Division clash, and they’ll aim to spoil Winnipeg’s push for the playoffs. The Blackhawks lost Artyom Levshunov and Matt Grzelcyk for the rest of the season due to injuries. Chicago is 3-5-2 in their last 10 games and is on a three-game losing streak currently.
