Winnipeg Jets: Top 3 reasons to have hope in 2021

1. Goaltending

As we’ve seen in the NHL over the most recent years, goaltending wins championships. The one great thing for the Jets is they have a great amount of depth in that department.

With the way that the schedule is set up, it is going to be difficult for Connor Hellebuyck to play the brunt of the games. With many games in few days, the Jets will need to have their backups come in to give the reigning Vezina Trophy winner some rest.

It looks now that the Jets have three options to fill-in for Hellebuyck. Those backup netminders are Laurent Brossoit, Eric Comrie, and Mikhail Berdin.

Brossoit has posted good numbers as a backup in the past two seasons for Hellebuyck, while the twenty-two-year-old Berdin has had some great performances with the Manitoba Moose.

Expect the added competition for the backup spot to only improve the Jets in the goaltending category.

Goaltending is the number one reason to have hope in 2021 and it will be the main reason that the Jets will have success this season.
