Jets Rooted to the Bottom

A playoff challenge looks to be out of reach for the Winnipeg Jets at this stage of the season, as they sit bottom of the Central Division with an overall record that reads 19-22-6.

They have also won just four of their last ten games, which includes a recent loss at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Despite that result, they have shown better offensive quality in recent weeks, scoring 20 goals in a run of four straight wins before that recent loss.

Blues Struggling for Wins

St. Louis Blues may sit higher in the current standings, but there is little between themselves and the Jets.

The Blues have gone 19-22-8 this season, and they have suffered six regulation time losses in their last ten games. If results go against them this week, they could end the week at the bottom of the Central Division.

The Blues were comprehensively outplayed in their latest game, as they were hammered 5-0 by the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.
