The Winnipeg Jets are grappling with a significant setback, a six to two loss to the Edmonton Oilers, which has left them six points behind a top three spot and two points out of a wild card playoff position. Their season-long challenge of lacking scoring depth has been exacerbated, with their top forward line accounting for their only two goals. The absence of star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, due to injury, has further compounded their issues, as his backup, Eric Comrie, has struggled with a three-five-one record. These factors are severely impacting their playoff hopes.
