Last-Place Jets Skid Reaches Nine as Cheveldayoff Takes Responsibility

GM Kevin Cheveldayoff publicly took responsibility ahead of a pivotal homestand.

Overview

  • Winnipeg sits 32nd at 15-21-4 after a nine-game losing streak, the worst record in the NHL.
  • Scoring has cratered to 2.85 goals per game, ranking 21st, with a relatively modest minus-11 goal differential.
  • Team goaltending ranks 18th at a 3.13 goals-against average and .893 save percentage, with Connor Hellebuyck’s 2.58 GAA and .905 SV% outpacing Eric Comrie’s 3.49 and .880.
  • Cheveldayoff said the slide “starts with me,” acknowledged the impact of past traded draft picks on the prospect pipeline, and signaled no immediate coaching or roster shakeup.
  • A five-game homestand begins Tuesday against Vegas, part of nine of the next 11 at Canada Life Centre, with the team on pace to join the short list of Presidents’ Trophy winners who missed the following postseason.
