The Winnipeg Jets Need To Improve Their Record Against The Top NHL Teams

12/14/2018 at 8:27am EST

from Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun (written before the Winnipeg OT win over Edmonton last night),

The Jets have had the luxury of playing the Blues four times already, the Blackhawks twice – and have scored 30 goals in those six games alone.

Toss in two games against the Devils and one each against the Kings and Flyers, and Winnipeg has enjoyed 10 games against the NHL’s bottom-feeding five.

Their record against them: a sparkling 9-1. Combined score, 48-25.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Jets have played just five games against their fellow top-six teams.

They have yet to play No. 1 Tampa Bay, but have squared off with No. 2 Toronto (twice), third-ranked Nashville, Calgary at No. 5 and sixth-ranked Buffalo.

Their record: 0-4-1. Combined score, 8-18.
