The Winnipeg Jets were 11 points out of a playoff spot at the end of February, but have cut the deficit to five points. 

However, a devastating loss to the Philadelphia Flyers has their wild-card chances hanging by a thread, with only six points available.

Winnipeg Jets’ Playoff Odds & Chances

According to the hockey odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook, the Jets were a long shot to make the playoffs at the start of 2026. As of Friday, the Jets’ Stanley Cup odds are off the board.  

That script flipped thanks to the Jets’ 12-6-2 run since March 3, tied with the Colorado Avalanche for the eighth-best points percentage (.650).  

While the Jets’ ability to claw themselves back into the fold is impressive, they’ll almost certainly fall short of securing a playoff berth. 

Jets’ Wild Card Standings

The Jets have 82 points, five behind the Los Angeles Kings and four back of the Nashville Predators. 

How Close Are Jets to a Playoff Spot?

The Jets are two spots and five points behind the second wild-card spot. The Kings and Predators can only pick up one point from their remaining games for the Jets to have a chance. 

Jets’ Remaining Schedule

The Jets’ three remaining games are against the Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Mammoth on the road and the San Jose Sharks at home.
