Winnipeg Jets end Chicago’s home optimism

The result highlighted the disparity in form between the two teams coming into this fixture.

The Jets arrived with momentum, having won four of their previous five outings, including a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on October 14. They also held a strong historical advantage, winning five of the last six meetings against Chicago. In contrast, the Blackhawks had lost three of their last five games, including a 5-3 defeat to Pittsburgh and a 2-5 loss to Carolina at home. Despite the hosts’ recent home losses, they had managed to secure points against St. Louis Blues earlier in the month.

The Jets had some key absences to contend with. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck had been suspended by the club on September 17 for missing training camp after requesting a trade, though his availability for this match was not confirmed. On the other side, Chicago welcomed several new faces, including Bowen Byram, who scored a hat-trick in his debut, and Roman Kanzerov, making his NHL debut. Ethan Del Mastro also signed a two-year extension with the club during this period.

The head-to-head record underscored Winnipeg’s superiority in recent encounters. Since 2024, the Jets have won five of the six meetings, with Chicago’s only victory coming on January 20, 2026, with a 2-0 scoreline. The most recent prior encounter saw Winnipeg win 4-3 on April 1, 2026.
