The Winnipeg Jets 2013-2014 schedule released

The NHL released its 2013-2014 schedules yesterday — including that of the Winnipeg Jets — and we would be remiss not to post it here for our loyal readers to critique. The Jets find themselves moving to the new Central Division/Conference which better suits their geographical confinement, aligning with other Central Standard Time teams such as the Chicago Blackhawks, Coloarado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues. This means fewer 6:00 PM CST road starts, which is beneficial to fans who work the 9-5 grind.

So now, without further adieu, we present to you the Jets' 2013-2014 schedule in its entirety:

Holy Sunday games, Batman! Though the travel will be greater in moving to the Western Conference, it will be enjoyable for Jets’ fans to see teams like the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks on a more frequent basis.

The NHL is shutting its doors for two weeks between February 9, 2014 and February 26, 2014 as they have recently reached a deal with the IIHF to allow NHL players access to play in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Because of this, the Jets will have a full plate in the month of March, where they will play fifteen games in thirty days. Here’s hoping Claude Noel learns how to properly deploy his goaltenders, or it could be another long season for Ondrej Pavelec.
