So here’s a proposition that would have been preposterous barely a month ago: Winnipeg Jets, the best hockey team in Canada.
Believe it.
A team that is, as of Wednesday morning, sixth in the NHL standings, third in the Western Conference and second in the Central Division is also, by a lot of measures, No. 1 in Canada.
With a record of 6-1-3 in their last 10, which includes a 4-1 win Tuesday night over the Arizona Coyotes at Bell MTS Place, only the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers are banking points at a faster clip than the Jets right now.
