The Winnipeg Jets had a great start to their 9 of 10 games on the road with a win against the New York Rangers Tuesday night. This 10-game stretch will determine whether the Jets are a legitimate contender for the cup or just a bunch of frauds who somehow managed to pick up 14 of their first 15 wins. Personally, I’m leaning toward them being a contender, but they’ll need to show up and prove what they’re made of. Over this stretch, they’ll travel through four different time zones, getting only a few nights at home between now and December 1st.
The Jets will need a record of at least 12 points out of 20 in this stretch. They already have two points from their impressive 6-3 win over the Rangers, so they need 10 more to hit the bare minimum. But this team doesn’t want just the bare minimum—they want to be the best.
I predict the Jets will win six games for sure, and potentially go to overtime twice. We know overtime is often a coin flip, unless Connor Hellebuyck is playing—then the odds swing heavily in the Jets&#8217; favor. I also think the Jets will lose at least two of these games. It&#8217;s a long stretch away from home, and the Jets will play back-to-back games followed by eight consecutive days of games every other day to end the road road trip.
The Jets were 25-13-3 on the road last year and are currently 7-0-0 this season. Against the Eastern Conference in 2023-24, they finished 19-9-4. The first five games of this 19-day stretch are against Eastern teams, and the Jets are already 5-1 against the East, with the only loss coming to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Jets already defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 7-4 on November 3rd. They’ve since played two more games and lost both. The Lightning are currently on a four-game losing streak and have been resting since November 7th. Expect a heavy game from them on Thursday night.
My honest prediction is that the Jets and Florida Panthers will trade wins at each other&#8217;s barns. These games will be among the best of the regular season for both teams. Paul Maurice has publicly stated that he wants the Jets to win the cup this season, and his team will want to show the Jets what it’s like to play for a cup in late November.
After a few days at home, the Jets will head to Pittsburgh to face Sidney Crosby and the Penguins. Pittsburgh has been struggling this season, with just 15 points and sitting near the bottom of the East alongside the Flyers, Blue Jackets, and Sabres.
I predict the Jets will go 4-1 against the Eastern teams. They need to approach each game like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, treating every night as an opportunity to go 1-0. You won’t win every night, but that mindset will lead to more wins.
The Jets were 33-15-2 against the Western Conference last year and 20-5-1 in the Central Division. They’re currently perfect against the West this season.
After Pittsburgh, the Jets will head straight to Nashville to face the Predators on November 23rd. Nashville is off to a rough start at 5-9-2 after spending heavily in free agency. I expect Eric Comrie to get the start, as this will be the back end of a back-to-back. The Jets are 6-4 over their last 10 against Nashville and have outscored them 29-25.
This is where I think the Jets may run into problems. On November 23rd, they’ll face the surprisingly strong Minnesota Wild, who are second in the division with a 10-2-3 record, just seven points behind the Jets. A lot can change in a week, but the Jets need to be ready for one of their biggest rivals. I think the game against the Wild will go to overtime as a low-scoring affair, and it’s hard to predict whether the Jets will pull out the win.
The game against the LA Kings will be another tough one for Winnipeg. LA is still upset about the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade and likely seeks revenge. The Kings have already scored 57 goals this season, but that won’t matter. The Jets will find a way to put up 6 or 7 goals against either David Rittich or Darcy Kuemper, both of whom have sub-.905 save percentages this season.
The Vegas Golden Knights have been a thorn in every NHL team’s side since they joined the league six years ago, and this year is no different. Vegas is currently on top of the Pacific Division with a 10-4-2 record, but they’ve lost three of their last five, including back-to-back losses to the Carolina Hurricanes and Seattle Kraken. Could we finally see a crack in their armor?
If the Jets were going to make a big statement with a win, a victory over Vegas in Vegas would solidify their status as serious contenders in the eyes of the oddsmakers. This game could be a turning point for the Jets. If they can keep up with Vegas or, better yet, beat them, they’ll prove they’re legit. If not, well, the &#8220;fraud&#8221; labels might start circulating. I think the Jets will win this one in overtime.
The final game of this 10-game stretch will be against the Dallas Stars on December 1st. After the Stars’ dominant performance against the Penguins on November 11th, I’m a little nervous about how they might fare against the Jets at the tail end of this road trip. I’d be shocked if the Jets take it easy in this game. They’ve given themselves some leeway, so they should be able to empty the tank against Vegas and still put up a solid effort against Dallas. However, they shouldn’t go all-out in this game at the end of a long road trip.
That would be a loss I’d be okay with. If the Jets lose three games during this stretch, and one of them is an overtime loss, I’d be content as a Jets fan. Just need to grab at least a point in the Vegas game.
81-1 isn’t the expectation, but a 7-3 or 7-2-1 record over 10 mostly road games is a solid result and should be expected by the fans.
