“Almost threw something through the TV.”
Scott Arniel typically presents as calm, cool and collected.
Behind closed doors? The #NHLJets pursuit of a playoff spot and nightly scoreboard watching is taking a toll.
Up next: Another must-win.

#NHLJets season metrics plus last 10 games. For the first time this season the Jets rode their power play to a win. Goaltending was also a big factor. Helle GSAx = 1.98 while SEA GSAx = -1.26. Jets allowed their 2nd highest 5 on 5 xGA total of the season.

Winnipeg Jets Impact Card
#NHL Game Score Impact Card for Winnipeg Jets on 2026-04-06:
#GoJetsGo #NHLJets
#NHLJets on track with my projections.
Scott Arniel said they'd need to win their last six... Can they do it?
Next up: St. Louis on the road.
Winnipeg wins 6-2 and leapfrogs San Jose to reach 80 points. The #NHLJets now need to pass Nashville and L.A., who have 81 points each.
Predators and Kings play each other later tonight.
The Sharks presently have two games in hand, including one underway against CHI now.
The #NHLJets rout Seattle 6-2 to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Now 34-31-12. They'll end the night still 3 points back of final WC spot, held by the winner of the Nashville/Los Angeles game.
5 games left for Winnipeg. Likely got to win them all.
Next: @ St. Louis Thursday
Vlad Namestnikov, long distance into an empty net, makes it 6-2 #NHLJets.
Kyle Connor scores and soars, sort of, and it's 5-2 #NHLJets with 4:41 to go.
Hard-working offensive zone shift from the top line puts Winnipeg up three.
Connor was tripped as he shot.
Persistence pays off, and a determined Kyle Connor scores his second of the night and 38th of the season to make it 5-2 #NHLJets with just under 5 to play in the 3rd.
Mark Scheifele with his 3rd assist of the night, giving him 97 points.
Seattle with Grade A's on back-to-back shifts. #NHLJets likely to close this off but not out of the woods yet.
Brad Lambert taking a page out of Artemis II's book and launching a rocket. It's 4-2 #NHLJets with Lambert's rush goal.
Brad Lambert with a heck of a snipe makes it 4-2 #NHLJets.
What a shot.
Adam Lowry and Neal Pionk with the assists on Lambert's third of the year.
Jared McCann uses Vlad Namestinkov as a moving screen, whistling a shot through the #NHLJets forward -- who was the last man back for some reason -- to beat Connor Hellebuyck.
Winnipeg lead now 3-2 early in the 3rd.
Three #NHLJets power play goals, three #NHLJets friendly bounces. 3-1 Winnipeg after 40.
(If you're a superstitious person cheering for Winnipeg to make the playoffs, it might be worth taking note of whatever you did today.)
3/3 power play. Today is a good day
#NHLJets
That's the first time all year the #NHLJets have scored 3 power play goals in a single game.
They had been in a massive funk, 2nd last in the NHL since Jan. 1, barely above 10 per cent.
Another #NHLJets power play, another perfect Winnipeg bounce. This time it's Kyle Connor's one-timer going off a Kraken stick and beating Philip Grubauer.
Three PPGs
And Mark Scheifele has 900 points in his NHL career.
The scorching hot #NHLJets power play strikes for a third time tonight.
3-1 Winnipeg.
Kyle Connor (37) with the goal. Mark Scheifele with the primary assist -- his 900th career point -- while Josh Morrissey had the other.
Now Cale Fleury called for high sticking Isak Rosén. One more power play for an #NHLJets group for whom every bounce has gone right tonight.
Gabriel Vilardi. PPG. Jonathan Toews' pass goes off a Seattle defender and bounces to Vilardi in the slot.
2-1 #NHLJets.
The suddenly red-hot #NHLJets power play strikes again.
This time it's Gabe Vilardi, who pounces on a rebound off a Jonathan Toews pass that was blocked by a Seattle defender.
2-1 Winnipeg.
Vilardi (29) from Toews and Scheifele is the scoring play.
Jets prospect Owen Martin (2025 3rd) picked up two goals for Spokane in Game 6 but it was not enough as Prince George won and ended the Manitoban’s playoffs.
He finished with 5G in six playoff games. Last season in the playoffs for the Chiefs he had 6G in 20 games. #NHLJets
