NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Move Up As Races Tighten
By George Clifford

No. 21: Winnipeg Jets
Previous: 24th
Season record: 25-26-4 (54 points)
After Saturday’s disappointing loss to Colorado halted a three-game win streak, the Jets open a crucial four-game homestand against Minnesota tonight. Despite a porous defense and Connor Hellebuyck’s recent struggles in goal, the Jets have performed well against Central Division opponents so far (including a four-game sweep against Chicago), and have the offensive firepower to challenge for a playoff slot.
