NHL Power Rankings Shock: Early Surprises That Turned the Season Upside Down
Can the real McDavid please stand up?
7. Winnipeg Jets, 3-1-0
Sean: 7
Dom: 7
WRONG: Three replacement-level defensemen in the starting lineup will make life really tough on Connor Hellebuyck.
That’s not entirely incorrect; Hellebuyck has been closer to league-average than Hart-caliber thus far. That’ll change at some point in the near future.
Still, the Jets are in fine shape overall thanks to strong play from their best forwards. Mark Scheifele has five points in his first four games, including two goals against the Flyers on Thursday. Kyle Connor is already up to seven points. And of course, Morgan Barron has three goals and a four-game point streak. It’s nice to see Hellebuyck get some early help.
