The Winnipeg Jets have gone 2-1-0 on their road trip so far and will be looking to finish the trek on a positive note against their division rivals, the Dallas Stars. Both Central Division franchises are fighting for positioning in the NHL’s standings, but find themselves in quite different situations. The Texans are having another good season, but the dominance of the Colorado Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild’s play post- Quinn Hughes acquisition have the Stars scrapping for 2nd place & home ...

The Winnipeg Jets have 29 games left to play in the regular season….so this nightmare of a season is far from over at this point. Fortunately us fans will get a little break from having to watch our hockey team struggle, as the Olympics will shut down the NHL for three weeks. Just matches versus the Florida Panthers, Dallas Stars, & Montreal Canadiens to go before then. Once the league gets underway again, there will only be 10 days until the trade deadline is upon us, so GM Kevin Cheveldayoff...

The Winnipeg Jets began their road trip with a win in New Jersey, but the competition will get more difficult in the second stop when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning. The True North victory didn’t result in our club gaining any ground in the wildcard race, as the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, & Seattle Kraken all won on Tuesday too. Therefore the Jets were in the 4th worst slot in the NHL team points percentage until the New York Rangers dropped another contest last night, leaving Win...

The Winnipeg Jets had strung together about 19 competitive hockey games in a row…even if they only won 6 of those. Yet that streak ended in the True Northers’ last contest when an embarrassing 3rd period saw the Detroit Red Wings rout our team 5 to 1. As a result, the Jets are still well back from a wildcard spot and with the Calgary Flames picking up a point on Sunday, the Manitobans are now sitting with the 3rd worst record in the NHL.
A quick visit to Tankathon tells us that gives Winn...

With the 1 point the Winnipeg Jets picked up against Florida, the team had moved 6 points back from the final wildcard spot in the Western Conference. Yet the NHL’s action on Friday night saw quite a few of the other franchises in the race pick up victories, so they will enter today’s contest versus the Detroit Red Wings a full 4 games back ( 8 pts ) of playoff contention.
The True Northers are currently sitting with the 4th worst record in the league based on points earned, but rise to 5...

On a very chilly Thursday in Manitoba, the defending President’s Trophy winners will be hosting the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Yet the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign has looked much different for the two franchises. The Winnipeg Jets almost led the NHL from start to finish last year, while the Florida Panthers hung around the middle of the league before surging up to the 11th best record by the season’s end. Of course, the Cats then turned it up a notch as they ran the table all the way to anoth...

Well, after the Winnipeg Jets dropped a 2-0 contest to the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night, they have remained with the 2nd best odds for the upcoming 1st overall selection in June ( a 13.5% shot at 1st overall, a 14.4% chance at the 2nd pick, odds of 30.7% for the 3rd selection, and 41.7% of the time will end up in 4th ). Once again I simulated the lottery via Tankathon and here is who got the top 5 picks this time:
Vancouver Canucks ( 25.5% odds )
Chicago Blackhawks ( 9.5% odd...

The Winnipeg Jets let a 5 game winning streak slip through their hands on Saturday when they let the Toronto Maple Leafs storm back from a 2 goal deficit to snag an overtime victory. That has unfortunately become a common theme for the True North franchise in the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign, leading to our hockey team sitting in the 2nd last place in the league.
As a result of that, some of the Jets’ fanbase have started to turn an eye to the upcoming draft with the hope that Winnipeg can sele...

Despite there being no Winnipeg Jets’ game on last night, I still ended up spending the evening watching hockey. Instead of focusing on the National Hockey League, my Friday night was taken up by a pair of lower level contests as I switched between American Hockey League & Ontario Hockey League contests.
The Manitoba Moose were in Quebec to take on the Laval Rocket, one of the AHL’s top 5 clubs this season, so the Jets’ 17th overall ranked minor league affiliate had their work cut out for...

The Winnipeg Jets have won three contests in a row, matching their second longest hot streak on the 2025-26 campaign, and they will be attempting to extend that on Thursday evening when they visit the Minnesota Wild. After the True Northers dropped their opening regular season game, the club strung together 5 consecutive victories for their longest winning streak of the year. Can they try match or surpass that plateau as they try to work their way back into the playoff conversation?

The month of December wasn’t a great one for Winnipeg Jets’ goaltenders, as it only provided Connor Hellebuyck & Eric Comrie with one win each. Now that the calendar has flipped over to January, the masked men have already equaled that plateau before the mid-month mark.

The Winnipeg Jets finally managed to win a game on Friday night when they downed the Los Angeles King by a score of 5 to 1. With their first victory of the 2026 calendar year under their belts, the True Northers will attempt to go on a winning streak when the New Jersey Devils visit Manitoba for a Sunday matinee.
Both NHL franchises have been struggling as of late, with the hometown Jets on a 1-5-3 streak in their past 9 contests, while the Devils matched the 5 points earned with a 2-6-1 ...

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.

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...
