In a league where the best of the best monopolize most of the attention, there aren’t many sixth place teams that could be described as “fascinating”. The Winnipeg Jets are becoming the exception that proves the rule.
The Jets are a deep team, one that’s stacked with young players at both the NHL level and beyond. They have an excellent blue line and an underrated cast of forwards. They have the talent to beat any team in the league on any given night, and they’ve already notched wins over the new York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks. They’re a darn good team.
