The incredible start for the Winnipeg Jets continues. Following a 1-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche , the team that knocked them out of last year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Jets became just the second team in NHL history to started 13-1. There is no question it has been an impressive start.
Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck is playing well and, surprisingly enough, Winnipeg’s offense is one of the best in the league. Through 14 games, the Jets have scored 63 goals as a team, far beyond the rest of the NHL. Kyle Connor is off to a terrific start with 19 points, while Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers are also putting up big number with 18 and 17 points respectively.
On Friday’s edition of Daily Faceoff LIVE , Frank Seravalli and Tyler Yaremchuk explain what has been so impressive about the Jets through the first month of the season. Frank Seravalli: Where the heck did this offense come from? This is mostly the same collection of players that was there last year. I’m looking at this [forward group], was there even one player that wasn’t there last year? They didn’t have this kind of success last year, offensively, their power play really struggled.
This is a massive change. So, either this is a team that’s on an incredible heater that will regress, they’ve got 20 more goals than the average NHL team so far this year..
.We’ve only played 13-14 games, that’s bananas. They don’t have one of the league leaders in goals, they don’t have one of the leag.
