Only playoff-bound teams are left on the Winnipeg Jets' schedule. The first of those five is tonight at the MTS Centre against the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Hawks are currently third in the NHL's Central Division with 95 points, six back of second-place St. Louis and four ahead of fourth-place Nashville.
Chicago's storyline tonight won't entirely be its place in the playoff seedings. It'll also be what the short-term future looks like without star defenceman Duncan Keith, who will have his hearing with the league's department of player safety this afternoon.
Wednesday, Keith swung his stick and whacked Minnesota's Charlie Coyle in the face.
