After storming out to a 3-1 lead in the 1st period against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, the Winnipeg Jets managed to fall apart over the next 2 frames to extend their losing streak to 11 games. With no time to search for answers to their inability to protect leads this year, the True Northers will be back in action on Friday night when the Los Angeles Kings come to town.

The Winnipeg Jets’ losing streak has now been extended to 10 games and the task of ending that slide won’t be made easy by Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers visiting our city. Coming into the action, the Oilers are tied for the 12th best record in the NHL, as well as being tied for the 5th most goals scored ( 145 ) and 5th most goals against ( 145 ). The True Northers on the other hand have the 7th least goals scored ( 118 ) and are tied for the 14th least goals against ( 130 ).

Well, the Tuesday evening will give us Winnipeg Jets’ fans the chance to see if our hockey teams’ futility will extend into a double digit game losing streak. And the NHL schedule isn’t making it easy on the Manitoban franchise since they’ve sent the Vegas Golden Knights to our city for the last contest in the first half of the regular season.
Despite being in a tie for 13th place in the NHL with a 17-11-12 record, Vegas has been going through some struggles of their own. They haven’t pic...

Will the Winnipeg Jets ever win another game? Guess we will have to keep tuning in to find out…but the team keeps finding ways to lose even when the statistical information suggest that they shouldn’t.
After blowing a big lead in their last outing versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, the hockey team will head to the nation’s capital for a match against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday evening. The True Northers are in the midst of an 8 game losing streak that has seen the franchise plummet to t...

Since it has been pointed out recently that the Winnipeg Jets seem to be playing better, I thought I would dig into the stats a bit to see if what “they” say is true.
Focusing on the most important part of a game, the 5 on 5 play, here is how our club has done through 38 games this season ( via MoneyPuck ).
This season (5 on 5):
Corsi % – 48.97% (21st in NHL)
Fenwick % – 48.72% (22nd in NHL)
xG% – 46.96% (26th in NHL)
Actual G% – 49.66% (15th in NHL)

As a lifelong fan of all three reincarnations of the Winnipeg Jets hockey team, I am well aware that us fans have had to deal with more than our fair share of disappointment over the years. Yet, I am not sure that any prior version of the Jets have been as disheartening as the 2025-26 roster.
Coming off a fantastic campaign that saw them win their first President’s Trophy, the True North franchise’s trajectory has absolutely plummeted this season, with the club going from the best team in...

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!!!
The Winnipeg Jets will be playing their last contest of the year 2025 this evening when they visit the Little Caesars Arena in Michigan to clash with the Detroit Red Wings. The 2025-26 NHL campaign has seen these franchises have a swing in their fortunes, as the 5th ranked Wings are looking to end a 9 season playoff drought and the 32nd ranked Jets are looking like they will miss the post-season for just the second time in the same span.

Well, the year of 2025 is nearing its conclusion and the Winnipeg Jets will be glad to see it in their rearview mirror. Currently on a 5 game losing streak, the True Northers have gone 3-10-4 since November 21st. The level of the Jets’ play on the ice has improved recently, but that has only resulted in the club picking up a pair of loser points in their most recent contests.

I hope everyone had a good time with their family and friends over the past couple of days….but the good times are about to end as our disappointing Winnipeg Jets ( 15-17-3 ) will be stepping back on the ice today. The True Northers returned to Manitoba for the holidays after a winless 3 game road trip, which is the largest part of the 4 game skid the hockey team is on.

It is that time of the year when Santa Claus and his elves are busy getting prepared to deliver presents to the children all around the world. When I was younger, that would have gotten me excited about the quickly approaching Christmas Day, but as time has passed the thrill of opening gifts has worn down. But one thing about this time of the year still has me on pins & needles with anticipation just like I was as a young lad……the World Junior Championship tournament!!

Well, it is official. With their recent loss to the Avs, the Winnipeg Jets are now on pace to have the worst season since NHL hockey returned to the province of Manitoba in 2011. Before Sunday’s action, the True Northers are looking at a 77 point season, which would be slightly worse than the Jets’ 2015-16 campaign ( 78 pts ). That resulted in Winnipeg getting their first top 5 draft pick of their second reincarnation in the next Entry Draft.
Yet despite that, the Jets are only 5 points b...

Alright…..a day has arrived that I have been dreading since I realized that the Winnipeg Jets wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as they were last year. Yep…the dynamo that is this season’s version of the Colorado Avalanche is on tap for the True North franchise tonight. Despite the NHL’s 2025-26 regular season schedule almost reaching the middle point, the Central Division rivals have yet to face off against each other. So us Jets’ fans get to look forward to playing what appears to be the lea...

For the first time since the 7 game slugfest that was the opening playoff series of the NHL’s 2024-25 season, the Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues will meet up again when the franchises clash on Wednesday evening. I am sure that we all remember how we felt when Cole Perfetti tied up Game 7 against the Blues with almost no time left on the clock ( Fett’s celebration noted in photo above ), setting up captain Adam Lowry to score the eventual game winning & series clinching goal in the 2nd overt...

The Winnipeg Jets got their star goaltender back for their last game….and then Connor Hellebuyck & company went on to play their best game of this year’s NHL campaign. The True Northers completely controlled the flow of the game against the Washington Capitals as they breezed to an easy victory, totally confusing a fanbase that hasn’t witnessed a game like that since last season.

So the landscape of the National Hockey League’s Central Division changed drastically on Friday when the Vancouver Canucks gave up trying to retain star defenseman Quinn Hughes and instead moved him to the Minnesota Wild for a package of young players & picks.

The two National Hockey League franchises that will face off tonight at the Canada Life Centre have been heading in opposite directions lately. The visiting Boston Bruins ( 18-13-0 ) have excelled over their past 5 games, walking away with a 4-1-0 record as they have out-scored the opposition 21 to 12. The Winnipeg Jets ( 14-14-1 ) on the other hand, have a 1-3-1 record over the same span, while being out-paced 19-12 in the goal department.

The Winnipeg Jets’ season has not gone as planned, as the NHL club finds themselves with the 7th worst record in the league. A far cry from last year when they were in the top 5 for most of the season. Things don’t get any easier for the True Northers, as division rivals Dallas Stars are up next on the slate and they have been playing excellent hockey in 2025-26.

The Winnipeg Jets have picked up points in 2 straight contests, which is something the NHL franchise hasn’t done since mid-November. With a 4-5-1 record over their last 10 games, the True Northers have been struggling with consistency and that has head coach Scott Arniel often shuffling the forwards lines in search of offense. Tonight’s opponent for Winnipeg has also been having difficulties as of late, with the Edmonton Oilers sporting the same 4-5-1 record in the past 10…but scoring goals is...

The Winnipeg Jets have returned home for a game against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night, before they get back on an airplane to fly to Alberta for a clash versus the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
Just a handful of games ago, the Sabres handed the Jets one of their most embarrassing losses in recent history…yet they didn’t manage to carry the momentum in their next game against the Philadelphia Flyers, limping away with a 5-2 loss. Winnipeg on the other hand, did get slightly better resu...

The Winnipeg Jets showed very little passion when they were cake walked by the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night, it will be interesting to see how the players perform tonight after a closed door meeting was called by, I am assuming, an unhappy Adam Lowry .
Wednesday’s clash involves a pair of Canadian NHL franchises that have seen their playoff hopes take a hit with a recent string of bad results. The fans of the True North franchise knows the Jets ( 13-12-0 ) have not done well over their ...

While I am coming to terms with the debacle of an outing the Winnipeg Jets had last night in Buffalo…and in an attempt to distract me from thinking about how Wednesday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens will go…I figured I would dive into the True Northers issues with secondary scoring this season.
For this review, I opted to stick with Winnipeg’s forward position. The reason for this becomes obvious when you consider that the top unit of Mark Scheifele , Kyle Connor , & Gabriel Vilard...

The Winnipeg Jets were able to end their 4 game losing streak and end the month of November with a win over the Nashville Predators. As the calendar flips over to December, the True Northers are preparing to face the Buffalo Sabres in New York state tonight, with a puck drop expected around 6:30 pm. If you were hoping to catch the action, I hope that you have a Prime membership or know a good streaming site.

After a fairytale season in 2024-25 saw the Winnipeg Jets explode for an NHL leading 116 points to capture the President’s Trophy and bring much joy to the fans of the True North franchise….our favourite hockey club has found themselves in a totally different story in 2025-26. In something more akin to a horror film, the Jets organization has taken a bunch of hits since the franchise’s most successful regular season.
It began when management’s gamble in re-signing star forward Nikolaj Ehl...

The Winnipeg Jets ( 12-10-0 ) will continue their road trip as they search for a way to end a 3 game losing streak without the assistance of star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck . Friday’s opposition has had an excellent start to the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign, as the Carolina Hurricanes ( 14-7-2 ) are tied for the 4th best record in the league…yet they will be entering action today on a 2 game skid of their own.
