This is the best spot the Jets have been in after 20 games since the move back to Winnipeg from Atlanta in 2011. The best they had done before this point after the quarter-season mark was in the 2013-2014 campaign when they had accumulated a record of 9-8-3 at the 20-game mark.
As Coach Paul Maurice has said, "Twenty games is the start for me. We've been fortunate to have good goaltending, so we're on the right side of the ledger."
And that's the key point. After 20 games, you can probably deduce where your team is heading for the season, barring any injuries or any other offsetting contingencies.
Not only have the Jets seen production and maturity from all four lines, but Connor Hellebuyck has stepped and taken back the number one goaltender role that was expected to be filled by Steve Mason, who unfortunately thus far, hasn't lived up to expectations.
