Team Identity
Defensive-structure regression · Hellebuyck-carried
Connor Hellebuyck climbed into the top-30 all-time in wins and remained the league's best goaltender by virtually every advanced metric, but the Jets missed the playoffs after last year's Presidents' Trophy. The offense behind Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor never found its level, losing Nikolaj Ehlers in free agency gutted the secondary scoring, and Scott Arniel's defensive system showed cracks all season. A massive disappointment given the roster on paper.
