No. 21: Winnipeg Jets

Previous: 18th

Season Record: 13-16-3

It’s hard to move up in the standings when you lose four games in a row. The Jets find themselves just outside of a wild card slot, with 29 points.

Their fourth loss, to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night, came with a bit of drama. Rookie Patrik Laine was trying to clear a rebound, and he hit the puck into his own net, giving a goal to the Oilers. This ended up being the game winning goal in a 3-2 win.

Poor kid. Before we give him a hard time, let’s remember that he’s currently third in the league in goals (17).
