As we look ahead to the Jets 2024-2025 regular season campaign, some big question marks have emerged regarding their post season odds.

The Winnipeg Jets have been cursed the past few year. Over the past 2 seasons, the Jets seem to find different ways to lose crucial post season games. With that in mind, the Jets have a massive chip on their shoulder heading into this season. Can this finally be the year the Jets break through their first round woes?
The Winnipeg Jets were expected to have a competitive team last season, but few envisioned they would take over the top spot in the NHL overall standings in January, match a franchise high with 52 wins and finish second in the Central Division, three points behind the Dallas Stars.
The Jets are returning the core of their roster and expectations are high once again.
«The regular season is hard, you have to make the playoffs, to do that's obviously the singular focus going into training camp,» Winnipeg general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said. «To a man, when we talked to the guys at the end of last season, we talked about how we need to be better, we need to find a way, whether it's organizationally or individually, we need to be better somehow and all the players talked about that.»

It all comes down to how Connor Hellebuyck responds next year in the playoffs. He struggled last post-season against the Colorado Avalanche by letting in soft goals at untimely moments in games. Can Hellebuyck get it done this year? Only time will tell.
