Illegal Curve Hockey

Going up against the team with the fewest home losses (regulation and extra time) you knew it wasn't going to be easy for the Jets to secure two points in Boston and they did not as the Bruins rolled them by a final score of 6-1. Winnipeg misses a prime opportunity to move within two points of the final wild card spot in the west.

The Jets battled back to get a point but the Preds take it in a shootout by a final score of 4-3. Tough to lose a point given the position of Winnipeg. They went 5-2-1 during this long eight-game homestand which has put them closer to a playoff spot.

The Jets sweep their back-to-back set this weekend with today's 3-2 win over the Blues. Eric Comrie was excellent making 29 saves on 31 shots as he won his fifth straight game for Winnipeg. Mark Scheifele & Kyle Connor get their 31st while Haydn Fleury gets his first ever with Winnipeg.

Just like everyone predicted as the Jets held the high-powered Avalanche to one goal and go on to win 3-1.

What a difference a week makes as the Jets were on a roll when we last went live on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show and today they have lost two straight with a monumental task of taking on two red-hot teams in the Avs and Blues. We will have plenty to discuss so join us for two hours of hockey talk.

Topics:

1) Should the Jets consider dealing their 2026 1st rounder for help next season?

2) Need to play Isak Rosen in the Jets top six

3) Is Scott Arniel coaching for his job in final 18 games?

4) Getting some Moose guys/prospects in for a run of games

The Jets were chasing all game long until they weren’t as the Rangers double them up by a final score of 6-3 (on 17 shots). While the playoffs aren't that far away two straight losses sure make it a more difficult prospect to catch the second and final wild card spot.

When you get outshot in a game 34-13 you know it probably was not your night. Despite scoring first the Jets were not able to match what the Ducks brought to this hockey game which they may end up ruing as had they won, combined with a Kraken regulation loss, they would have been just three back of the final wild card spot. Instead they remain five back. Big missed opportunity.

Josh Morrissey gave the Jets an OT victory over the Canucks. Winnipeg improves to 4-0-2 since the Olympic break.

The Jets are on a bit of a roll securing points in five straight games (3-0-2) including an impressive 4-1 win over the Lighting on the eve of the NHL Trade Deadline. It was a busy Thursday night as, in addition to the game, Winnipeg dealt Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn to Buffalo which was followed by dealing Tanner Pearson on Friday, also to the Sabres. We analyzed the moves made by the local NHL club, discuss the impact it will have on the NHL/AHL clubs of this province and more.

We heard from Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff following the conclusion of NHL Trade Deadline after he made two trades in the last two days both with the Sabres. On Thursday he sent Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn for a pair of players and two draft picks and today he sent Tanner Pearson to Buffalo for a 7th rounder in 2026. .
