Winnipeg Jets Record – Last Season Recap

The Jets overachieved again in 2023-24. The Winnipeg Jets’ records signified a team with the makings of a Stanley Cup contender. Even if Winnipeg suffered another disappointing playoff exit, the Jets continue to offer hope for their fans.

Final 2023-24 Record:

Winnipeg was one of the best NHL picks last season. Not only was Winnipeg’s 110 points nearly 20 points more than its preseason projection of 91.5 but Winnipeg’s 52 victories tied for the second-most in the league.

Top Performers:

The Jets had one of the best defenses in 2023-24. Connor Hellebuyck won his second Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender as he led in many goalie stats including goals saved above average at 31.8. Mark Scheifele led skaters in scoring with 72 points while Kyle Connor led in goals with 34.

Winnipeg Jets Trades (Additions and Subtractions)

There were no significant Winnipeg Jets trades to make note of. The Jets dealt some prospects and picks as general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff continues to re-tool while restocking the proverbial cupboard.

Key Departures:

• F Sean Monahan
• F Tyler Toffoli
• F Bryan Little
• D Brenden Dillon
• D Nate Schmidt
• D Kyle Capobianco
• G Laurent Brossoit

Key Additions:

• D Haydn Fleury
• G Eric Comrie
• G Kaapo Kahkonen

Winnipeg did lose plenty of key players from top-scoring forwards to elite backup Laurent Brossoit. These losses should impact Winnipeg’s Stanley Cup odds though the Jets maintain its core.

Jets Prediction for the 2024-25 NHL Season

After a 110-point season, Winnipeg will be hard-pressed to produce the same results. However, the preseason Winnipeg Jets’ odds still project a playoff-caliber team. A losing season will be shocking considering how this team has performed in recent years.

Regular Season Wins Prediction

The Winnipeg Jets’ predictions for 2024-25 have them at 96.5 points. This is much less than the 110 points Winnipeg produced last season but it’s also higher than the 91.5 points the bookies lined.

Playoff Chances

Winnipeg should be a lock to make the playoffs this coming season. It would take a disastrous amount of injuries for the Jets to fall off a cliff.

Key Players to Watch

Gabriel Vilardi enters his second season as a Jet. The former King had 22 goals in 47 games last season and the Jets were much more effective when he was on the ice. Additionally, Cole Perfetti is another solid NHL pick to leap. He posted a career-high 38 points in 71 games last season.

Coaching Analysis

Scott Arniel replaces the retired Rick Bowness as Winnipeg’s new head coach. Arniel previously coached in Columbus over 12 years ago then served as an assistant with the Rangers and Capitals. He has big shoes to fill given what his predecessors, Bowness and Paul Maurice, accomplished in Winnipeg.
