EDINA, Minn. -- Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien's giant smile fades slightly, just for a moment, at the mention of last season.
The Jets finished 40-35-7 and failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a second straight season. Since they moved to Winnipeg from Atlanta in 2011, the Jets have reached the playoffs once, when they were swept by the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference First Round in 2015.
