Chicago Blackhawks vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction 10/11/24 Game Analysis
Now, we’re going to the Winnipeg Jets versus the Chicago Blackhawks. Winnipeg—this is early, so they could put in their backup. At this point, who is their backup? I’m not even sure, but I think Hellebuyck will be in net. I think they want to get off to a strong start after beating the Edmonton Oilers 6–0 in their first game.
Chicago lost to the Utah Hockey Club, as they like to say, and we had that at minus one and a half. We’re going back to it here. This Blackhawks team hasn’t had enough time to gel. They haven’t had enough time to put a team together—a team kind of positioned to beat too many teams. They’ve only played exhibition games. They got Bertuzzi, they got Teravainen, and they have a whole new defense. There are a lot of pieces here that still have to gel.
As for the Jets, yeah, they lost a couple of pieces, but for the most part, they’re the same team we saw last year. I don’t think they’re going to have a letdown spot here against Chicago. They are trying to win every game they can. That’s what they did last year—they didn’t lose to bad teams. They lost to good teams, but they didn’t lose to bad teams last year, and I don’t think they’re losing to this bad team at this time.
Winnipeg Jets vs. Chicago Blackhawks Pick
You can get Winnipeg minus one and a half at minus 115, and I would hit it—especially if Hellebuyck is in net tomorrow. But even if he’s not, I still think they’re going to win. I still think Chicago is a really bad team that is trying to piece everything together right now. Maybe they’ll get a few more points than last year, but they’re not a good team yet.
I love Bedard, I love a lot of what Chicago is doing, but they’re just not ready yet. Winnipeg is. I think they hit it. We’ll take it on the puck line—Winnipeg on the puck line.
