On November 9, 2024, the Jets defeated the Dallas Stars, 4–1, for their 14th win in their first 15 games to start the season, setting the NHL record for the best start to a season in NHL history.[2]

On March 25, 2025, the Jets clinched their third consecutive playoff berth, and their seventh in the past eight seasons after a 3–2 win in overtime against the Washington Capitals.[3]

On April 7, the Jets recorded their 53rd win after a 3–1 win against the St. Louis Blues, setting a record for most wins in a season in both Jets/Thrashers history and for an NHL team based in Winnipeg. On April 16, the Jets recorded their 115th point after going into overtime against the Anaheim Ducks and then recorded their 116th point with the 2–1 overtime victory, setting the franchise record for points, breaking the previous record of 114, set by the 2017–18 Winnipeg Jets.

On April 12, they clinched the best record in the Western Conference and the Central Division title, the second in franchise history after the Thrashers' Southeast Division title in 2006–07 and the first division title for a Winnipeg-based NHL team after they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in overtime.[4]

On April 13, the Jets clinched their first franchise Presidents' Trophy after the Washington Capitals lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets.[5] They became the first Canadian team to win the Presidents' Trophy since the Vancouver Canucks did it in back-to-back years in 2010–11 and 2011–12.[6][7][8]

In the playoffs, the Jets faced the St. Louis Blues in the first round and won in seven games, but lost to the Dallas Stars in the second round, losing in six games.
