Overview
- Overnight results moved Los Angeles into the final Western spot and left Winnipeg two points back with eight games to play.
- Since the Olympic break, Winnipeg has 10 wins and points in 14 of 18, lifting a season record to 32-30-12 for 76 points.
- Mark Scheifele has reached a career‑best 92 points as he and Gabe Vilardi drive the attack for a faster, younger lineup.
- Connor Hellebuyck has steadied with a .915 save rate over his last four starts, and the Jets beat Colorado twice in three March meetings.
- The Jets sold at the deadline and still face long odds—about 13% per BetMGM—in a race that reshuffles nightly across the West.
