The Winnipeg Jets have dominated the NHL this season, finishing with an impressive record of 56-2-4 and securing the Presidents’ Trophy for the league’s best record. Their first-round opponent is the St. Louis Blues. The Jets’ success can be attributed to their complete team performance, with consistent offensive contributions from their forward lines and scoring from defensemen. Their defensive structure is among the league’s best at limiting scoring chances, and they are anchored by goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who is in line to win his third Vezina Trophy. The key question for the Jets is whether their regular-season continuity will translate into playoff success, as they have been eliminated in the first round in the past two seasons despite strong regular-season performances. Hellebuyck, with a career postseason record of 18-27, a 2.85 goals-against average, and a .910 save percentage, is a player to watch, as his performance could be crucial in turning around the team’s playoff fortunes. A bold prediction for the Jets is that Gabriel Vilardi, who has only two goals in 12 career playoff games, will lead the team in goals this postseason.

Apr 16 Is HNIC Ready For The Winnipeg Jets To Be Canada’s Heroes? So how much do Canadians love the Winnipeg Jets? Will they be so adorable if they sneak in and steal the hero role by winning a first Canadian Stanley Cup since 1993? We may be about to find out.

By finishing the regular-season in first place the #NHLJets have put themselves in the best position possible to win a Stanley Cup, statistically speaking.My story with all the numbers:
