The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a 6-4 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. There’s good news, this club finds itself four points back of the Vegas Golden Knights and has two games in hand over them.

Forward @Jansen Harkins enjoyed the first multi-point game of his NHL career in that game, and @Kyle Connor also registered new career-highs in goals (39) and points (77) thanks to his four-point performance in Chicago.

On the betting front, I had another average night, going 3-for-6 on my bets. Let the good times roll for both me and the Jets.
