I was under the impression the Winnipeg Jets had been notably worse than they were last season. They’re on pace for roughly 112 points, which is a) really good and b), two points off their record last year.
That’s…essentially the same. Yes, Winnipeg got off to an uneven start, and it was a little bit of everything. Mediocre play from Connor Hellebuyck, defensive letdowns, lack of offense.
It was…worrisome. I wasn’t outright panicked, but I was starting to worry. Look, a team like the Jets doesn’t have the margin for error that teams like the Rangers and Kings will have in their rebuilds.
