Few hockey fans could have predicted that the Winnipeg Jets would jump out to a 15-1 start through 16 games.
The Winnipeg Jets:
– are 15-1-0
– 7-0 on the road
– have the best record in the leagueAnd the 2012-13 #blackhawks still have one of the greatest starts to an NHL season of all time (21-0-3) pic.twitter.com/Leqqyo5Nuc

The Jets are the fastest team in NHL history to earn 15 wins. Winnipeg sits alone on top of the Western division ahead of 10-2-3 Minnesota and 9-5 Dallas.
The team’s latest win occurred Tuesday night in New York defeating the Rangers 6-3.
How long can the Jets keep up this impressive level in all facets of the game? No one knows, but the Jets keep their heads down and focus on one game at a time.
What The Winnipeg Jets Are Saying
Jets forward Kyle Connor, who scored two goals in the win over the Rangers, said: “We know what we are doing but we don’t take too much stock in it. We just move on to the next one. It speaks to the leadership to not get too comfortable. There’s still a lot of season left.”
The Jets opened the season winning eight straight. The streak was broken on October 28 with a home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Since then, the team has reeled off another seven straight.
There is a lot of hockey yet to be played. However, the team is performing well, leading the NHL in all measurable areas beyond wins and losses, including Power Play, goals for, and goal differential.
This Jets team:
1st in NHL – wins (15)
1st in NHL – points (30)
1st in NHL – winning % (.938)
1st in NHL – Power Play (42.2%)
1st in NHL – Goals for (73)
1st in NHL – Goal differential (+39)And they keep showing how consistent they’ve are each game. 🤯https://t.co/8h0BPPhqaN

What makes it more special is that it has been a total team effort.
“Real simple from me. This is such a team effort. Such a team effort..”
