After a short east coast road trip, the Chicago Blackhawks return to Chicago to host the Winnipeg Jets on Friday evening at the United Center with puck drop set for 7:30 p.m.
The Blackhawks were able to snap a lengthy eight-game losing streak to start their road trip but have since lost their last two games, putting them at 7-14-4 on the season.

The Jets feature a balanced attack and sound defensive scheme under new head coach Rick Bowness. The former Stars coach has led his current team to a 17-7-1 record, which is good enough for first place in the Central Division.
