Our Best Bet:

Winnipeg Jets -1.5 (-110)

The Jets are simply the better team in every area—goaltending, defense, offense, and recent form. They’ve been dominant in this matchup historically and are finishing the regular season strong. Chicago’s defensive issues and weak penalty kill leave them vulnerable to a Jets team that’s clicking. We expect Winnipeg to control this one from start to finish and win by multiple goals.
