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.
