The Winnipeg Jets have clinched the franchise’s first Presidents’ Trophy, finishing the NHL regular season with the most points, despite a 4-1 loss against the Edmonton Oilers. This achievement secures home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs, a crucial factor for any team aiming for the Stanley Cup. However, defenseman Dylan DeMelo emphasized that their ultimate goal isn't the Presidents’ Trophy but to be the first Canadian team to win the Cup since 1993. DeMelo's sentiment reflects the team’s focus on the playoffs ahead, as they prepare for their first-round opponent.

The Jets’ accomplishment was celebrated by over 15,000 fans at Canada Life Centre, marking a significant milestone in the franchise's history. Coach Scott Arniel echoed DeMelo's sentiment, noting that while the trophy is a great milestone, the team is more focused on the playoffs. The Jets have a solid roster and are poised for a deep playoff run, leveraging their strong home performance this season.
