Christmas marks the not-quite half-way mark for NHL teams. The Winnipeg Jets will return to their families having played 36 games already, an NHL record. Here’s the perfect time to inch up the standings for the Jets. If they can’t go to break with a four game winning streak, this season could be thrown in the bag already.
Having won their last game against the Florida Panthers, it moved them up into fourth place in the Central Division. With big differences in games played around the division, it would be easy for Nashville to leapfrog the Jets, while Dallas is in the same situation as the Jets, so they could stay behind.
