Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The Winnipeg Jets

It sounds impossible, but the Winnipeg Jets haven't beaten Vegas in Winnipeg since 2022. 4 years is a long time to wait for a win of any sort, but this one was legitimately earned.

Is Winnipeg showing us a potential future template for success in the coming seaso...

The final games of the Winnipeg Jets season are in sight. Winnipeg will have to run the gauntlet through the best of the West, starting with the Vegas Golden Knights.

What Jets prospects might be ready to take their first steps on the journey towards pro pl...

In a strange weekend of NHL hockey where the Winnipeg Jets took most of available points but still lost standings position, some surprising moments have fans buzzing. Was the decision to put Toews and Nyquist in the shootout over Connor and Scheifele a shot from Arniel at the star players? Is this Lambert-Barron-Rosen line something to think about for the seasons beyond? Can the Jets youth help Wi...

Will games against Pittsburgh and New York have any major impacts on the Jets seeding? What will we be watching for as the final games of the year wind...

The Winnipeg Jets game in Boston could best be described as humiliating. Winnipeg's star players were completely absent, and the coaching staff had zero answers once again. The only bright spot came from some of the Jets youth stepping up with impressive performances despite a bludgeoning scoreline. Where the heck is this team's accountability? Why won't anyone stand up and answer for this trainwr...

The Winnipeg Jets have welcomed top prospect Alfons Freij into the Moose ranks. What has the talented Swede been up to overseas? Is he the first wave of Swedish players who will turn the Jets into a top contender? When might he get into the Moose line-up? Are the Winnipeg Jets eerily similar to organizations like Toronto? What lessons can the Jets take from Toronto's repeated failures? Are the pla...

The end of the season continues to get closer and closer, giving the Winnipeg Jets few opportunities to close the gap to a playoff spot. A match-up against the tanking Predators provided a big point swing opportunity to get Winnipeg closer to either a top-5 pick or a post-season appearance. The Jets took the middle of the road approach instead, though not for a lack of trying. Who led the way in a...

How are the Winnipeg Jets prospects faring these days? Is there hope for any of them to bail the Jets out from their current middling ways? Are He and Walton the most likely impact players in the system, or are their other Winnipeg prospects worth watching? Can the Moose get the younger players and veterans back on track, or was the Jets investment all for naught? Just how Swedish should we expect...

The Winnipeg Jets continue to play .500 or better hockey, but they still find themselves in roughly the same league position they've been for the last several weeks. Is their brand of hockey convincing for a playoff run, or does it look more like the level of play from when they were well out of the race? Do wins against the Avs and Blues tell us about the team's potential going forward? Just how...

The Winnipeg Jets are closing in on a high draft pick, potentially a lottery-level talent that could alter the franchise's trajectory. Just how close is Winnipeg to landing this prospect? Are the Jets completely cooked now, or are there still signs of playoff life? Is Winnipeg's inseparable duo on the top line actively holding the team back? Who will take accountability for where the team is now?...

The end of the Winnipeg Jets season is in sight, and the final stretch is going to be brutally difficult. Winnipeg may not have the absolute hardest schedule remaining, but it has among the hardest for teams seeking a top-5 pick. How will the Jets respond to this stretch after a dreadful outing against Anaheim? Is this team already giving up the ghost? Might Winnipeg get bailed out by the strength...

I wasn't expecting anything too impressive against the Anaheim Ducks, but the Winnipeg Jets laid an even bigger mess than I could have imagined. Between intermission interviews that left us aghast and a product on the ice that was even worse, tonight was one to forget for the Jets. What made this particularly outing so frustrating? Is Winnipeg even hearing itself when it's talking about the direct...

Winnipeg Jets fans were practically tripping over themselves with excitement the moment the Stanley/Schenn trade return was announced. Isak Rosen, a player who is under 30, coming back?! Jacob Bryson, a defenseman who can actually skate?! Their debuts against the Vancouver Canucks spotlighted some positives and a few negatives, but the early returns seem solid. What can Winnipeg expect from them g...

The trade deadline was something of a smashing success for the Winnipeg Jets, who didn't make many deals but surely made the most of them all the same. What did Winnipeg get in return for Schenn and Stanley? Were there any other moves of note? Is Isak Rosen the best player moved in the whole trade? What about Jacob Bryson? Will these next few weeks finally see Winnipeg calling upon the youth? What...

The night of good vibes might be about to hit a peak for the season as the Winnipeg Jets are preparing to deal Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn to the Buffalo Sabres. With an impressive win against the Tampa Bay Lightning followed by the incoming trade announcement, could this night be the highlight of the season? What is the rumored trade return for this duo? Are there any particularly interesting l...

We're a little less than 48 hours from the NHL trade deadline, and all remains relatively quiet on the Winnipeg Jets front. Is the team still intending to slow-play all of this? With the market now favoring sellers by a wide margin, why are the Jets stubbornly refusing to entertain bigger moves? Is this team cooked beyond belief, or is there still time for them to make the most of this situation?...

The NHL is bracing for some major trades over the next 72 hours, but little seems to have linked the Winnipeg Jets to deals. Are the Jets planning to stand pat, or will they make some surprising roster moves? How will Winnipeg navigate what's been called a "buyer's market"? Can they still get good prices on players that might not be as in-demand? How might the Robert Thomas trade impact Winnipeg's...

All signs continue to point to a quieter week for the Winnipeg Jets. What should be a bit of a fire-sale seems to be more of a mild spark. Will Winnipeg recognize the reality of their present and future before the end of the week? Did Winnipeg dodge a bit of a bullet in not claiming Mangiapane from the Oilers? What does this say about how the Jets view their roster? Is Scott Arniel at the end of h...

The return to NHL action has been modest for the Winnipeg Jets, with the team doing enough to earn points against the Pacific Division. Most of these games, however, would be described as "adequate". Winnipeg's efforts against Anaheim this past week were overshadowed by a big blown lead and overtime defeat, but fans likely won't feel too concerned as Elias Salomonsson scored his first NHL goal! Ar...

The Winnipeg Jets are finally back in action, and a ragtag line-up squared off against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday evening. How did this banged up Jets squad fare against the last place team in the NHL? Why did it take all the way until overtime to determine the winner? Is Elias Salomonsson truly the real deal? What does he still need to work on as he settles into more consistent NHL deploy...

Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. The resumption of the NHL season is upon us this eve, and the Winnipeg Jets appear to be a bit shaken up already. With several players out longer-term due to injury, who might suit up against the Vancouver Canucks tonight? Should we be concerned about the rumor that the Jets might not be looking to make significant changes this off-season? If th...

The Josh Morrissey injury news has been a serious gut punch for Winnipeg Jets and Team Canada fans. While the tank implications will be beneficial to the Jets in the long-run, the personal side is crushing. Morrissey is likely to be out long-term, and his new IR status hints at a more serious injury. Will this be what pushes Winnipeg firmly into top-3 pick placement? How will the Jets try to balan...

It was an emotionally-fraught, cardiac arrest-inducing gold medal match-up between Team Canada and Team USA. All the cards were on the table, but the USA found one more Joker hidden in the pile. Connor Hellebuyck delivered the game of a lifetime, stealing Olympic gold from the Canadians like he'd stolen so many games for the Winnipeg Jets. While the result is bittersweet, we can take solace that h...

Team USA stuns Team Canada with Jack Hughes’ overtime heroics to clinch gold, marking a historic double as both U.S. men’s and women’s teams take top honors. Is this the start of a new era in international hockey, or will Canada’s depth and Connor McDavid’s star power rebound in the next Olympics? Gil Martin, Eddie Garcia, David Morassutti, Zach Berman and Armando Velez break down the Olympic gold...

The Canadian men's squad is preparing for a potential repeat of history, squaring off against Team USA for Olympic gold. Will the Canadians get the better of the US once again, or will the Americans have their revenge for the 4 Nations finale? Can Canada pull this win off without Josh Morrissey? Is he sidelined beyond the Olympics, or will the Jets have him back relatively quickly? What can we exp...
