The year started off surprisingly well with the Winnipeg Jets picking 4 wins in the opening 6 games and it appears to be ending nicely with a 5 game winning streak coming into their match versus the Chicago Blackhawks….but that middle stretch was tough to witness. When I ran my three simulations prior the season to come up with a prediction of how our hockey team would do, I ended up with totals of 76, 82, & 88. As of now, Winnipeg is on pace to hit the high end of that range with 21 pts in 20 contests.
