Illegal Curve Hockey: Winnipeg Jets

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. .

With Logan Stanley/Luke Schenn heading to Buffalo we heard today from Jets head coach Scott Arniel on the move, the players they are bringing in, his team's mentality for rest of the season, being a buyer vs a seller, Connor Hellebuyck and more.

For the first time since he won gold in Milan with Team USA at the Olympics we heard from Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck in a wide-ranging conversation which included Trade Deadline talk.

One of the top teams in the East came to Winnipeg and the Jets handed the Lightning an unexpected 4-1 loss as the home team played a complete game and got help across the board with this victory to run their points streak to five games (3-0-2).

With it being the day before the NHL Trade Deadline, and with the team holding Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley out of the lineup for "roster management purposes, we discussed the possibility of them getting dealt and then the actual trade that saw them sent to the Sabres.

And with that goal Mark Scheifele becomes the first player to score 200 at Canada Life Centre and more importantly he gives the Jets a 3-2 win over the Hawks in OT.

For the third straight game and for the second straight time the Jets lose a game in extra time surrendering a point to a team they are chasing. As pointed out by Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press the Jets have now lost 10 of 11 games that go beyond regulation.
