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.
While our Jets ( 14-13-1 ) will be looking to avoid another losing streak when the game gets underway at 7 pm Central at the Ca...

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.
Both the Jets ( 13-11-0 ) and Sabres ( 10-11-4 ) are coming into action on one ga...

The Manitoba Moose will continue their long homestand when they host the Chicago Wolves for games at the Canada Life Centre on Saturday & Sunday afternoon ( 2 pm Central ). Both clubs will be entering action on a 1 game winning streak after blowing out the opposition in their latest match ( Moose 5-1 vs Senators & Wolves 8-4 over IceDogs ).

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.
One random observation before I dig into the Jets-Canes clash, I do find it interes...

Life got a bit hectic this week, so I didn’t have a chance to do a recap for both games against the Ottawa Senators’ minor league affiliate. Therefore this one will include recaps of the two clashes this week in Manitoba….lets get started.
The Winnipeg Jets’ farm team hit the quarter mark of the American Hockey League’s 2025-26 regular season schedule during this week’s two game set versus the Belleville Senators. Entering the first game at the Canada Life Centre, the Moose were sitting w...

The Winnipeg Jets ( 12-9-0 ) are kicking off a 5 game road trip to the east coast….and they will be hoping things go much better than their west coast swing. The opening contest sees our squad visit DC to take on the Washington Capitals ( 12-9-2 ), who have been playing some good hockey lately, winning 4 of their last 5 games while averaging 5 goals for per game. So the True Northers will likely need to be defensively sound if they hope to end their 2 game losing streak.
Word has it that ...

The Winnipeg Jets ( 12-8-0 ) will be entering their second game without Connor Hellebuyck after dropping the first match against the Carolina Hurricanes. Things don’t get easier for the True Northers, as their neighbours to the south are visiting Manitoba and the Minnesota Wild ( 11-7-4 ) are playing some really good hockey at this point.
The Wild have picked up wins in 4 straight against some quality opposition ( ANA, VEG, CAR, & PIT ), so they should offer a test to a Jets club that has...

The Manitoba Moose ( 8-6-2 ) were in action at the Canada Life Centre on Saturday afternoon as they hosted their division rivals, the Chicago Wolves ( 7-5-3 ) for the second half of a two game set. The Moose pulled out a 2-1 victory over the Wolves on Thursday night, improving their record versus the Carolina Hurricanes minor league affiliate to 1-0-1 on the season.
Manitoba has been hot of late, picking up 2 points in each of their last 5 contests, while Chicago has ended up on the wrong...

The Winnipeg Jets ( 12-7-0 ) will be entering action tonight on a 2 game winning streak after downing the Calgary Flames & Columbus Blue Jackets. The franchise will be hoping their success against teams coming from places that start with the letter “C” can continue when the Carolina Hurricanes ( 13-5-2 ) visit the Canada Life Centre tonight. While the True Northers have been idle since Tuesday’s game, the Canes ended up losing an OT game to the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday.
Of course, this...

The Manitoba Moose ( 7-6-2 ) have been playing some good hockey lately, coming into action on a 4 game winning streak where they have out-scored the opposition 14 to 7. The Winnipeg Jets’ minor league affiliate had just returned home from a 5 game road trip and were hoping they could continue to be as successful in their home barn. The competition this Thursday evening was a Central Division rival, the Chicago Wolves ( 7-4-3 ), who were sitting a place above our Moose by 1 point en...

While the players on the Winnipeg Jets weren’t in action on Wednesday, the front office staff were continuing the work of running the True North franchise. General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff has been working on an extension for team captain Adam Lowry since he successfully locked up sniper Kyle Connor earlier in the season. That worked finally paid off as the NHL team has reached an agreement with Lowry’s agent Craig Oster on a 5 year extension, giving Adam a raise to $5M per season.

The Winnipeg Jets are likely happy to be home after a disappointing 6 game road trip that ended with a 2-4-0 record due to too many defensive coverage errors. However, if you want to look at things more positively, then I’ll tell you that the True Northers have won 2 of their last 3 contests.
Regardless of your point of view, I think all the fans will be happy that our hockey team is pretty much fully healthy for the first time in the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Yes, extra defenseman Haydn Fleu...

Since I discovered the whole linking of YouTube videos to an article’s cover photo, I decided that I would add recaps of the Winnipeg Jets minor league affiliate to Arctic Ice Hockey . These often won’t involve a ton of observations from me on the Manitoba Moose’s performance, but the stat packages & linked recap video should give us fans a better idea how well the Jets’ future players are doing. Let me know in the Comment section if this is something you will regularly check out?

To start off….if you noticed the Play button that popped up on this article’s main photo, I inserted a link to YouTube’s recap of last night’s Manitoba Moose win to the article…give it a view and you will see a nice dish from rookie Brayden Yager . Didn’t know that was where it would pop up…but c’est la vie.

I know that I am getting tired of all these consecutive late start times for the Winnipeg Jets….yet they still have two more to go. The first of these will take place tonight at the Climate Pledge Arena in Washington state when our Jets will take on the Kraken, shortly followed by the final game of the road trip on Saturday in Calgary to clash with the Flames.
It will be the second meeting of the season for the Winnipeg Jets ( 10-6-0 ) and the Seattle Kraken ( 7-4-5 ) and unfortunately ou...

The entire fandom of the True North franchise was likely elated when word came out that defenseman Dylan Samberg shed the non-contact jersey in practice, signaling to one & all that Winnipeg’s best defensive player will be back in the line up for the next game. Last year the American was in the top 10 of many defensive categories, so with Sammy slipping into the 2nd pairing along side Neal Pionk …..there has to be hope that some of the Jets’ miscues will be remedied with the big guy patrolling...

The Winnipeg Jets ( 9-6-0 ) are in the midst of their first multi-game losing streak of the National Hockey League’s 2025-26 campaign, finding themselves on a 3 game skid as they head into their match with the Vancouver Canucks ( 8-8-1 ) on Tuesday night.
The True North franchise sits in a tie for the 11th best record in the NHL, yet in a sign of just how tightly contested the early part of the season has been, the Jets find themselves in a tie with 11 other clubs. On the other side of th...

The Winnipeg Jets have struggled on this west coast road trip so far, dropping their opening 2 contests to the LA Kings & SJ Sharks while just managing to score 1 goal on opposing tenders. As a result, the True North franchise’s record has dropped to 9-5-0 to start the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign.
With injuries disrupting the plans of head coach Scott Arniel from the start of the season, our favourite hockey team has not played nearly as well as they did during their President’s Trophy campaig...

The Winnipeg Jets ( 9-4-0 ) will continue their road trip with a visit to the San Jose Sharks ( 5-6-3 ) on Friday night ( 9 pm Central start ). The trip didn’t start off great as the True North offense dried up, allowing the Los Angeles Kings to shut out our club for the second time this year. Interestingly enough, the Sharks will be coming in off a big 6-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken, the other NHL team that has blanked the Jets this season.
Winnipeg’s leading scorers are hardly surp...

Today I ended up having a bit of time to explore how some of the Winnipeg Jets’ prospects are doing early in their seasons. Since I figured I would let the players in the American Hockey League with the Manitoba Moose play some more games before I attempted to see how they were doing…that left me with the young men suiting up outside of the minor leagues. These include a lot of the True North franchise’s most recently drafted players, including 2025 1st rounder Sascha Boumedienne and other pro...
