It has been a disappointing defense of the Presidents’ Trophy by the Winnipeg Jets in 2025-26, as the team have regressed. The Jets have failed to make the playoffs, becoming the fifth defending Presidents’ Trophy winners to fail to make the postseason.
Their recent form also raises questions, as they have suffered defeats in their last three, and have recorded just five wins in their last ten. Their most recent loss was suffered on the road, as they were easily beaten 5-3 by the Utah Mammoth.

Alex Iafallo (Doubtful), Neal Pionk (Doubtful), Gustav Nyquist (Doubtful)

- Top Goal Scorer: Macklin Celebrini (44)
Despite failing to qualify for the playoffs, positives can be taken from the improvement shown by the San Jose Sharks throughout 2025-26. That is reflected by the fact that the franchise have accumulated their highest tally of points in the regular season since 2018-19.
Despite losing their latest game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Sharks have a positive record over their last ten after winning on five occasions.

This is an unpredictable game to end the regular season. However, plenty of positives can be taken from the performances of the Sharks this term, and they could be primed to upset the odds in the final round.
