The National Hockey League’s trade deadline for the 2025-26 campaign has come and gone, seeing our Winnipeg Jets become sellers for the first time in a while. General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff ended up shipping out a few veterans in Logan Stanley , Luke Schenn , & Tanner Pearson for packages that included a couple of player and picks.
Both skaters acquired from the Buffalo Sabres are going to make their debuts for the True North franchise tonight when Winnipeg squares off against the Van...

Shortly after the Winnipeg Jets downed the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night, General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff made his first trade deadline move as he confirmed that the True North franchise would be in the Seller category this season.
After news broke in the afternoon that defensemen Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn would be held out of the line up due to “ roster management ” reasons….we all knew that the likelihood that the veteran defenders would be moved increased dramatically. A...

Due to another hectic day at work today, this preview will be briefer than normal….as well as being posted much later. The Winnipeg Jets have gone to overtime in 5 of their last 6 contests, pulling out a 3-2 win on Tuesday over the Chicago Blackhawks to pull within 9 points of the Seattle Kraken & the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. The Kraken had a chance to extend that last night against the St. Louis Blues, but a 3-2 loss has kept the deficit the same.
Tonight’s game at the C...

The Winnipeg Jets have been chasing the Anaheim Ducks & Seattle Kraken for the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot for quite a while now. Catching one of those franchises was the True Northers’ only hope to qualify for the playoffs, even though there was quite the gap they needed to overcome.
But that has recently changed over the past couple weeks of NHL action, as the Ducks have gone on a 5 game winning streak ( 8-2-0 in past 10 ) to move up the Western Conference standings. As a r...

The Winnipeg Jets began the post-Olympic break off by stumbling out of the starting blocks, as they let a 2 goal lead disappear in the 3rd period versus Anaheim. After rookie defenseman Elias Salomonsson scored his first NHL goal to put the True Northers up 3-1 early in the final frame, the hometown Ducks dominated play to eventually tie things up with 1:22 remaining. The Jets almost escaped overtime with the game deadlocked, but with 13 seconds still left on the scoreboard a puck slipped by C...

The Winnipeg Jets started the final stretch of the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign with a victory and they will need to pile up a lot more of those if they hope to qualify for the playoffs. The win over Vancouver did allow our team to close the gap to the final wildcard spot from 11 pts to 9 pts, so the True Northers took a good first step if they want to book a spot in the post-season.
The next obstacle in Winnipeg’s path is the Anaheim Ducks, who they will square off against in another late nigh...

After a 3 week hiatus due to the 2026 Winter Olympics, the National Hockey League will resume its regular season today with a slate of 8 contests that includes the Winnipeg Jets taking on the Vancouver Canucks. That means that I am back writing about our hockey team again….did you miss me?? I had planned on doing some other articles during the break….but found that I enjoyed taking a step back too much and couldn’t get the motivation to do anything other than a bit of research of prospect Kier...

About a week after the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics officially kicked off, the competition that I am most interested in is about to get underway today. Can’t say that I’ve watched a whole lot so far, but that should change now that the Men’s Ice Hockey tournament is about to start on Wednesday. Have to say that I’ve taken full advantage of the time without NHL hockey to take a step back and get to some of the tasks I have put off because I am always watching television.

The Winnipeg Jets have returned home from a 4 game road trip that saw the franchise continue to pick up points on a regular basis, as they went 2-1-1 to grab 5 of the available 8 points. Yet, despite going 7-3-3 since January 9th ( getting 17 of the available 26 pts ), the True Northers have only managed to close the gap on the Western Conference’s last wildcard spot by 2 points ( were down 11 pts, but it is now only 9 ). At that pace, the Jets would need 65 more games in the regular season to...

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 )

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’ 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 ).
