Key Takeaways:

  • Winnipeg Jets Stanley Cup Odds are off the board as they have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 
  • Goalie Connor Hellebuyck stayed healthy during the playoffs, but he struggled, going 6–7 with a 3.08 goals-against average and a save percentage of .866. 
  • The Jets floundered in the playoffs, losing 4-2 to the Dallas Stars in the Second Round. 

Scott Arniel has gotten another chance to be an NHL head coach 14 years after a short stint as head coach in Columbus. Before and since then, Arniel has been on the staffs of some quality coaches, including Lindy Ruff, Alain Vigneault, and most recently, with Bowness as an assistant in Winnipeg. The key for the Winnipeg Jets this season will be how Arniel meshes with one of the most talented rosters in the NHL. He has guided the Jets to the Presidents' Trophy, and they are facing the Dallas Stars in the Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Winnipeg Jets Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

  • Goaltending: The Jets have one of the best goalies in the NHL in Connor Hellebuyck, who took home the Vezina Trophy after last season and is dominating again. However, Hellebuyck struggled in the playoffs, and it cost them against the Stars. 
  • Defense: The Jets gave up an NHL-low 199 goals last season because they have one of the league's top goalies and defensive corps. The defense has struggled on the road in the playoffs, allowing 5.66 goals over three games in St. Louis. They failed to win a single road game in the playoffs, going 0-6 in six chances. 
  • Goal Scoring: The Jets have spiked on offense this season and currently have the third-most goals and the fourth-most assists in the NHL, thanks in part to Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor, and Gabriel Vilardi. Cole Perfetti's magic saved their season with 1.6 seconds left and helped fuel the Jets to victory. 
  • Power Play: After ranking just 22nd on the power play last season, the Jets have vaulted themselves to the second-best in the league.  Scheifele, Connor, and Vilardi combined for 31 power-play goals. The power play was bad in the series with the Stars, as they went just 3 for 21. 

Weaknesses:

  • Playoff pedigree: The Jets have been a perennial playoff team in recent years, but they've underperformed in the postseason, including a first-round exit against Colorado last season. It happened again, this time losing to Dallas. 
  • ❌ Depth scoring: After their top five scorers -- Mark Scheifele, Josh Morrissey, Kyle Connor, Gabriel Vilardi, and Nikolaj Ehlers -- there is a big gap in production. The Jets need more consistency from their bottom six in the scoring department.
  • ❌ Overcoming the Second Round: So far, the Jets have been unable to get past the second round, and it happened again this season. If the Jets make it back to the playoffs, they will look to try to get this hurdle off their back.
