<p>According to <a href="https://weather.gc.ca/canada_e.html"><span class="mlMgYd">Environment Canada</span></a>, this storm is expected to bring 30-50 cm of snow and wind gusts between 70-90 km per hour. The weather isn&#8217;t expected to improve until Friday morning at the earliest.</p>
<p>As a result of this postponement, the Jets will be inactive until Friday, when they&#8217;ll begin a back-to-back series in Florida against the Panthers. Then, the club will travel four hours north to face the Tampa Bay Lightning the following night.</p>
<p>With a 35-28-11 record and 81 points this season, Winnipeg&#8217;s chances of making the playoffs are extremely slim and barring a late surge, this franchise is slated to miss the post-season for the first time since 2019-20 &#8211; when they were eliminated during the qualification round.</p>
