Winnipeg Jets Stanley Cup Odds At a Glance:
The Jets have consistently made the playoffs in recent years, with six appearances in the past seven seasons, but they've only won one playoff series since 2019. They should be in the hunt again with a strong roster coming back from a team that won 52 games last season and finished in second place in the Central Division.

The Jets have a strong and balanced roster and have an opportunity to finish high in the standings, but their odds are longer because they've come up short in the playoffs so often in recent years. For that reason, the Jets are an attractive team for bettors who might want to place a wager on a longer shot. The Jets are one of 10 NHL teams to never win the Stanley Cup. Heck, they've never even appeared in a Stanley Cup Final. But anything can happen in the playoffs. Maybe this is the Jets' year.

Do the Jets Have a Chance to Win The Stanley Cup?
It has to happen one of these years, right? The Jets are a championship-starved franchise, but they have a few key ingredients that make it a distinct possibility. For one, they have underrated stars in Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, who were the top scoring forwards on the team last season. And in Connor Hellebuyck the Jets have the reigning Vezina Trophy winner in goal to keep opposing teams off the scoreboard.
Do the Winnipeg Jets Have a Chance to Make The Playoffs?
The Jets are favored by the oddsmakers to qualify for the playoffs the seventh time in the past eight seasons. They're in a very competitive division with Dallas, Colorado and Nashville, among others, but the Jets should be motivated after exiting the playoffs in the first round in the spring.
