21. Winnipeg Jets

Previous: No. 20

Record: 30-31-6 (66 points)

Patrik Laine is now second in the league with 32 goals behind Sidney Crosby. The guy can flat out score. If the Jets could field any semblance of league-average goaltending, they might be in the playoff hunt. Their goalies’ collective save percentage is .904, and league average is .911. Despite this, the Jets are still in the hunt for the wild card spot in the West.
