Winnipeg Jets 2023-24 Season Review

The Winnipeg Jets have landed.

The marathon 82-game season is over and they have been eliminated from playoffs in five games for the second year in a row.

The future is bright for this team, but head coach Rick Bowness didn’t get a different outcome this season.

How Wrong Were My Projected Numbers?

Way back on October 10th, 2023, I wrote a 2023-24 season preview for the Winnipeg Jets. I didn’t project stats for specific players, but I did try to predict where they’d finish. I projected that the Winnipeg Jets would finish the 2023-24 season posting a win-loss record of 49-28-5, which is actually really close in comparison to their true 2023-24 season record of 52-24-6.

For the 2024-25 season preview, which I encourage you to watch out for in early October 2024 right around the time of training camp wrapping up. I expect next year to have many changes for the Winnipeg Jets at various positions, maybe even some heartbreaking changes to the hardworking Winnipeg fan.
