The NHL's trade deadline is set for March, but many insiders feel all the heavy lifting is going to get done before the Olympic roster freeze next month. Locking in on the Winnipeg Jets, the team has gone from first to worst in the league, and there's going to be multiple changes made to the roster. GM Kevin Cheveldayoff isn't looking to rebuild or blow it up. It's been a bad year, there's no denying that when you're 15-20-4 heading into Saturday's action. The Jets have 34 points, worst in the...

The Columbus Blue Jackets took a bit of time to trade Yegor Chinakhov to find the right trade, but there was more interest from teams than just the Pittsburgh Penguins who ended up landing the former first-round pick. Chris Johnston reported, "There were teams around it. Going way back earlier in the season, the Leafs were one of them. I don't know that they were there later on here. San Jose I think had some interest. Winnipeg. A lot of teams were curious." Chinakhov is a 24-year-old drafted ...

The Maple Leafs erased 4-1 and 5-4 deficits in a classic Bob Cole “everything is happening”-style hockey game to kick off the 2026 portion of the schedule in thrilling fashion. This was no Picasso defensively (or in net, for Joseph Woll), but playoff-bound teams need to win a few wild ones along the way over […]

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 6-5 win over the Winnipeg Jets, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 19-15-6. On the team coming back from 2-0, 4-1, and 5-4 down to win in regulation: Good resilience and character coming back tonight. We were coming back the whole game, but we stuck with […]

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)

The Toronto Maple Leafs are getting a big boost to their lineup for Thursday night's game against the Winnipeg Jets, as captain Auston Matthews is returning to action. Matthews missed the Leafs last game against the New Jersey Devils after blocking a shot last weekend against the Detroit Red Wings. He finished the game, but the swelling was too much the past few days, keeping Matthews out of the lineup against New Jersey. The Leafs went on to win the game 4-0, thanks to Joseph Woll standing on...
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...

The Alec Regula experiment has hit a stumbling block recently with the Edmonton Oilers, so much so that Kris Knoblauch opted to play Riley Stillman, a career AHLer, in his spot against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. Regula was a mystery coming into the season. He was claimed off waivers last December but never…
The Edmonton Oilers gutted out a 3–1 win over the Winnipeg Jets last night, doing so without forward Andrew Mangiapane, who was a healthy scratch. Perhaps the scratch was simply a reflection of his recent play, or it could signal something more. As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman noted on a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts…

If you look at the picture to the left, there's something significant about that image. That picture was taken with 5:18 to play after Sparta Praha went up 2-1 on Canada when Filip Chlapík scored from former Winnipeg Jets forward Kristian Vesalainen, and you may notice that there's only one white jersey in the entire picture. Far be it for me to suggest that's how Canada played this entire Spengler Cup tournament, but scoring just two goals in two losses when they had a chance to earn the bye ...
The Edmonton Oilers are back in the win column. On Monday night, the Oilers defeated the Winnipeg Jets for a second time this month, this time by a score of 3-1. Barring results in the Vegas Golden Knights and Anaheim Ducks games, the Oilers may finish the night first in the division. Let’s take a…
There’s some intrigue heading into Monday’s game. A few minutes before the start of the game, 880CHED’s Bob Stauffer reported that the Edmonton Oilers made Andrew Mangiapane a healthy scratch.

The Edmonton Oilers haven’t lost consecutive games in over a month. They are 10-5-1 since November 21st, but they will need to be sharper tonight in Winnipeg than they were in Calgary on Saturday if they want to avoid a second straight loss. The Winnipeg Jets are desperate and angry after losing 4-3 in overtime…

Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch changed the lines ahead of Monday night’s game in Winnipeg. Matt Savoie is back with Leon Draisaitl and Vasily Podkolzin on the second line, while Jack Roslovic is centring the third line between Mattias Janmark and Trent Frederic. Who knew Roslovic playing centre was even an option? Apparently, Knoblauch…
