Players To Watch:
Chicago Blackhawks
Connor Bedard’s hot start to the season is something to watch. He’s been lethal in every game and can change the game against the opponent in seconds.
Spencer Knight will be looking for a big game to solidify himself as Chicago’s number one in the future. A strong performance against the Jets tonight could do just that.
Winnipeg Jets
Jonathan Toews will be all over the place tonight, literally. He gets to suit up against his former team as a member of his hometown team. You can’t write a better story than that.
Logan Stanley has been massive in a few ways to start this season, but his incredible production makes him a prime candidate to have another big game.
