As the Winnipeg Jets and San Jose Sharks get set to finish the regular season of the National Hockey League’s 2025-26 campaign, the above quote is likely how the two franchises feel about each other.

Currently, the Sharks are sitting with the 9th best odds in the NHL, but could increase that to 7th with a Jets’ win in regulation tonight. Yet if San Jose picks up a point or two tonight, they could rise as high as the 10th best chance. Winnipeg currently have the 7th best odds in the Lottery and only will drop to 8th if they win a clean 2 points this evening. So both front o
