Blackhawks vs Jets Prediction

I’m on the Blackhawks +1.5 here. I think the Jets could win this one again, but a lot of the recent meetings between these two teams going back to last year have been close affairs. Four of the last five meetings were one goal games, including three that needed OT. I could see this being a spot for the Jets to give Eric Comrie, the backup, a shot at a start to keep his legs fresh, and he is nowhere near as tough to beat as Connor Hellebuyck. It’s also the final home game of the season for Chicago, so I could see them posing a stiff test here. Give me the Blackhawks here.
