Sat Apr 12 22:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Jets Aim for Division Title, Franchise Record in Chicago Showdown
**CHICAGO, IL –** The Winnipeg Jets are on the verge of history. Tonight, they face the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center in their final road game of the regular season, with a chance to clinch both the Central Division title and a franchise record for road wins.
A single point against the Blackhawks will secure the Jets’ first Central Division crown and the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Currently boasting a 54-21-4 record and a six-point lead over their nearest rivals, the team is focused on securing the top spot to guarantee home-ice advantage throughout the postseason. Winning tonight would also give them their 26th road victory, surpassing their previous franchise best of 25 set last season.
“It’s (been about) milestones throughout the whole year, benchmarks,” said Jets forward Kyle Connor, who scored two goals in their recent 4-0 win over the Dallas Stars. Connor’s performance marked his second 40-goal season.
While the Jets eye significant achievements, the Blackhawks also have something to play for. Looking to avoid a season sweep at the hands of Winnipeg, they’ll aim for a victory after their surprising 5-2 win over Boston on Thursday. Chicago’s comeback victory saw them score four goals on just four third-period shots.
The Jets will skip their usual morning skate, leaving any potential lineup changes undisclosed until game time. The game will be broadcast on Sportsnet (TV) and 680 CJOB/Power 97 (radio) at 6:00 pm CT.
