The playoff dream remains alive for the Winnipeg Jets, but they will need to enjoy a strong end to the season.

The Jets come into this round after winning five of their last ten, showing their quality over this period after suffering just three defeats in regulation time. Confidence would have been gained from their latest outing, as they bounced back from a defeat against the Dallas Stars to record a 2-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Kyle Connor scored efforts in the second and third periods to secure the win.

  • Home Record: 17-14-5
  • Road Record: 15-15-6
  • Top Goal Scorer: Jordan Eberle (23)

The 2025-26 season promised so much for the Seattle Kraken, but their campaign is in danger of ending on a lull. Seattle currently sits sixth in the Pacific Division, and they have struggled for wins across their last ten after winning on just two occasions.

Over the same period, the Kraken have lost six times in regulation. Seattle’s poor defensive record continued over the weekend, as they were easily beaten on home ice by the Chicago Blackhawks, with Jaden Schwartz scoring in the 4-2 loss.

Winnipeg Jets vs. Seattle Kraken Picks
