The Winnipeg Jets have raced into the Western Conference Finals, as you may have heard. They don’t get there without great performances from some of their key players, and a few surprises as well.

The Winnipeg Jets have a nice little player core to build around, here, and they did a nice little job building around it for this playoff run. Conference Finals, good stuff.

We broke down the Jets most impressive players after the victory over the Minnesota Wild, and hey, some of those guys are going to make our next installment of the Winnipeg Jets Player Power Rankings as well.

This is after the first two rounds and entering the third. Plus one game, of course. Meant to have this up before the series, but hey, it’s a holiday weekend and things got away from me. I beg for your forgiveness. Either way, I’m going to drop the list down to five and spread the discussion a bit more.

We’ll see how this version plays out, and if we like it, we’ll stick with it after the Jets close out Vegas in five games and head to the Stanley Cup Finals. I know, I know, it’s a bit hasty, but who cares? It’s all in good fun.

Let’s get started, shall we?
