This is an 8* play on the Chicago Blackhawks.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Winnipeg is just 7-8 (-1.2 units) in its last 15 when playing with three or more days rest and only 3-5 (-1.8 units) this season after scoring four goals or more in its previous game, while Chicago is already 8-2 (+6.3 units) this season in revenging a home loss against an opponent and 5-2 (+2.7 units) after scoring one goal or less in its previous game.

The bottom line: Looks like CHICAGO is primed for a big win in its first game back after the X-Mas break, lay the price with confidence.
