ANALYSIS: What's next for Jets after playoff exit?
What's next? What's the next plausible step for the Winnipeg Jets? Of course, the rawness of Saturday's playoff exit in Dallas, for many reasons, needs to heal over somewhat, but in the coming weeks and months, this season's performance will be assessed and next year's expectations laid out. Story continues below advertisement Sure, winning the Stanley Cup is always the main objective — and, frankly, it's the only one, and that's totally understood — but it's also how to get there; how to better improve your team's advancement after making progress in your most recent season but still coming up short. That's what needs to be fleshed out. In truth, the Jets are not that far away, advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and making it difficult for the Stars to advance to the Western Conference final for a third straight year – proving that steps are important to the process and logically easier to ascend the next time around.

Story continues below advertisement But as star forward Kyle Connor said Tuesday at his final media availability of the season, ultimately, 'we're judged on playoff success.' And nothing more! And while this market seems to be satisfied with the improvement the Jets made in getting past the first round, know this: what has been emanating from Winnipeg's dressing room itself their last two seasons to be better will continue again, likely with a few new faces next year and with even more deposits into the bank vault of experience. This season, by all accounts, was different for the Jets. It was without question solid, but it wasn't perfect and does leave room for growth and progress. So, what's next for the Jets? Simply more of the same next year, but only to plausibly add on with another step or two.

Winnipeg Jets Send Three-Word Message After Mark Scheifele Scores Following Father's Death
The hockey world has been rallying around Winnipeg Jets star Mark Scheifele after heartbreaking news emerged Saturday morning that his father had passed away unexpectedly on Friday night. Scheifele's status for Game 6 of the Jets' second-round Stanley Cup Playoff series against the Dallas Stars was initially uncertain. But according to head coach Scott Arniel, Scheifele made it clear he wanted to play for his dad. Advertisement "Mark will be playing tonight," Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. "As he said, that'd be [the] wishes of his dad. He would want him to play, and I know he's been rooting us on here. I know that he's been pushing hard. We got to see him earlier in the St. Louis series, and he's with us. Mark really wants to play for him tonight." Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele (55) skates in warmups prior to Game 6 against the Dallas Miron Fast forward to Saturday night, and the game remained scoreless through the first and second periods—until a magical moment happened. Scheifele found a rebound in front of the net off a shot from teammate Kyle Connor and buried it past Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger. Immediately following the goal, the Jets posted a three-word message on social media. Advertisement "MEANT TO BE 🥺🥺🥺," the team wrote. Scheifele is in his 14th NHL season after being drafted seventh overall in 2011 by the Jets. He was Winnipeg's first-ever draft pick after the organization relocated from Atlanta that same year. This season, he recorded 39 goals, 48 assists, and 87 points. Entering Saturday night's game, Scheifele had four goals, six assists, and 10 points in 10 playoff games.
