Assessing the Jets' 2024-25 Day-by-Day Schedule

A day-by-day look at the Winnipeg Jets' 2024-25 regular season schedule.

With the 2024-25 NHL regular season schedule just over a month away, now is as good a time as ever to provide a deeper look at the Winnipeg Jets' day-to-day opponent lineup.

Breaking down each day of the week for Winnipeg from October through April will give fans a better understanding of what days might look busier over the calendar year, which mornings they may be more sleepy at work, and when or when not to promise non sport-related date nights.

For the Jets, the busiest night of the year will be Tuesday, to which the team suits up in action 17 times. 

It will be followed closely behind by Saturday (16 games). Those 16 games on Saturdays are surprisingly near the league-low, with over two-thirds of the 32 clubs suiting up in 20+ games on Saturdays. Los Angeles owns the league-high with 25 Saturday night showdowns. 

Winnipeg will then see a slight drop-off for its next weekly-high, at 13 Thursday night affairs. The Jets then play 11 times on Friday and Sunday. 

Monday and Wednesday weeknights will see Winnipeg's fewest games, with just seven games each. 

Another interesting tidbit is the fact that Winnipeg has the fewest back-to-back contests of all clubs this coming season (eight). Toronto and Carolina, on the other hand, have twice as many as the league leaders (16). 

This statistic bodes extremely well for reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck, who thrives off a high workload. With just eight back-to-backs on the season, the idea that Hellebuyck could see 65+ contests this season truly isn't that far fetched.
