No. 26: Winnipeg Jets

Previous: No. 24

Record: 22-24-4 (48 points)

I didn’t say the bottom of the Western Conference was making a run up these rankings. The Jets don’t really know what they’re doing in net, as Ondrej Pavelec has returned from the dead (minor leagues) to try and retake the starting spot. Until Winnipeg gets its back end sorted out, having a really solid forward corps with Patrik Laine, Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler, Nikolaj Ehlers and others won’t matter much.
