Winnipeg Jets dominate the NHL with the most points in the regular season

In Canada, the Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues prepare for their playoff matchup in the NHL’s Western Conference first round. The Jets, with an impressive overall record of 56-22-4, finished the regular season atop the league standings, winning the Presidents’ Trophy. They have demonstrated strong performance in their Central Division, boasting a stellar 19-7-0 record in those matchups. In contrast, the Blues entered the playoffs as the second wild card from the West, managing to secure their postseason berth after a remarkable turnaround in the final quarter of the regular season, where they won 19 of their last 26 games. The Blues ended up with an overall record of 44-30-8 and displayed strong offensive capabilities, having scored at least three goals in 37 of their games. Notably, over the past ten games, both teams showed solid form; the Jets went 7-3-0 while the Blues went 7-2-1. Winnipeg has historically struggled in the playoffs recently, losing in the first round the past two years. Their experience and skill provide them a solid foundation to progress further this year. The matchup will highlight individual talents, including Nikolaj Ehlers for the Jets and Robert Thomas for the Blues, both key contributors for their teams. The rivalry is intensified by personal connections, as Brayden Schenn will face brother Luke Schenn for the first time in a playoff series. As both teams look to advance, the Jets’ home advantage, fueled by their passionate fans, will play an essential role in this heated playoff battle.
