Winnipeg Jets vs Chicago Blackhawks Picks and Prediction for Saturday November 14 2026
Winnipeg heads to the United Center in Chicago for a 3:30 PM ET game Saturday. Winnipeg has quickly become one of the teams that fans are going to take notice of with an 8-3 win over the Dallas Stars. The Blackhawks for their part are not a team that has played overly well on the season and have been lacking in any type of consistent play on the ice.

Winnipeg Has Finally Found Its Offense
The Jets are 9-8-3 overall and 4-4-2 on the road after winning their fifth straight Thursday. As we mentioned the Jets were able to beat the Stars in their last game out on the ice. However, the impressive part on the ice was being able to battle back for the win after dropping down to a 2-0 mark in the game.
Winnipeg has ended up getting a nice winning streak going, but that is coming off of an offense that has shown marked improvement. The improvement coupled with the offensive improvement is a key marker as to why the Jets are starting to get to the winning ways here. This improvement has made it a lot easier to see the Jets getting the wins.
What else is really impressive is the fact that the Jets have been able to get wins that are multiple goal games. The problem is the Jets are not able to keep playing at that level on a consistent basis and that is going to be a strong issue that the Jets are going to have to cope with and overcome as the season wears on.

Chicago Finally Got a Win, but the Problems Haven’t Disappeared
Chicago was able to get a win in their last game after getting the overtime victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The win moved the Chicago Blackhawks to a record of 5-13-1 on the season, but when playing at home the Blackhawks have moved to a 5-5-0 record. Prior to that win the Blackhawks had not been playing that well and had lost six straight games.
The offense and defense for the Blackhawks has been somewhat consistent on the year. The problem is the offense has been playing good on nights that the defense has not been playing good. That means the Chicago team is not able to get the balance in play that they need to pick up wins on a consistent basis. With that type of play the Chicago team could be in trouble against the Jets who have been able to play great hockey on the season on a consistent basis.
Chicago got two regulation goals and the overtime winner Thursday, with the tying goal coming midway through the third period. Patrick Kane is finally off of the injury list and his return to the ice could give the Blackhawks a nice offensive boost that could help equalize the game on the ice here. However, what else is nice is the Blackhawks team has had some great goaltending on the season so far.
Winnipeg Jets vs Chicago Blackhawks Picks and Prediction
Pick: Winnipeg Jets Moneyline
Give me Winnipeg. The Jets have won five straight, just scored eight goals against Dallas and are finally looking like a team that knows what it wants to do offensively. Chicago deserves credit for beating Buffalo, but one overtime win doesn’t erase a six-game losing streak or that nine-goal disaster against Carolina. The Blackhawks can make this interesting if they defend the way they did Thursday and get another strong game in net. That’s possible. But Winnipeg has been getting offense from several lines, and Chicago hasn’t shown it can handle that kind of sustained pressure. I trust the Jets to keep their streak going.
Total Pick: Over 5.5 Goals
I’d take the over at 5.5. Winnipeg just scored eight, Chicago recently gave up nine, and neither team’s defensive performance has been completely dependable. The Jets should have enough chances to score three or four themselves, and Chicago only needs a couple to put this total in good shape. Now, I wouldn’t assume another eight-goal game. Winnipeg’s shooting Thursday was exceptional, and Chicago defended much better against Buffalo. The Blackhawks could also try to slow things down. But at 5.5, I like the offensive matchup for Winnipeg enough to take the over.
Final Picks: Winnipeg Jets Moneyline and Over 5.5 Goals
