The Chicago Blackhawks will try for a second straight win when they host the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday at United Center. Puck drop is at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Chicago ended a six-game winless streak Thursday when Ryan Donato scored in overtime to beat the Buffalo Sabres 3–2. Frank Nazar scored with the man advantage, and the Blackhawks have picked up a point in all six games in which they have scored a power-play goal this season, going 5–0–1.

Defenceman Sam Rinzel assisted on two Chicago goals against Buffalo. He has four assists in his last four games.

The Jets have won five in a row, most recently beating the Dallas Stars 8–3 on Thursday.
