Updated 2025 NHL Playoff Picture, Bracket, Matchups After Jets Win Presidents' Trophy

For the first time in franchise history, the Winnipeg Jets have secured the Presidents' Trophy.

The Jets claimed the Presidents' Trophy thanks to the Washington Capitals' loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday.

Now that Winnipeg has officially secured the most points this season, here's a look at the updated playoff picture with less than a week to go before the end of the regular season.

Eastern Conference

Toronto Maple Leafs (A1) v. Ottawa Senators (WC1)

Tampa Bay Lightning (A2) v. Florida Panthers (A3)

Washington Capitals (M1) v. Montreal Canadiens (WC2)

Carolina Hurricanes (M2) v. New Jersey Devils (M3)

Western Conference

Winnipeg Jets (C1) v. St. Louis Blues (WC2)

Dallas Stars (C2) v. Colorado Avalanche (C3)

Vegas Golden Knights (P1) v. Minnesota Wild (WC1)

Los Angeles Kings (P2) v. Edmonton Oilers (P3)

The Jets have been arguably the most complete team in the NHL this season, boasting the best goals allowed per game average (2.31) and the third-most goals per game (3.40) this year. They also capitalize on opportunities more than every other team, converting 29.2 percent of their power plays.

Now, Winnipeg is looking to continue that strong play in the postseason.

The Jets have been to the playoffs in five of the last six seasons, but has never gotten over the hump of reaching the Stanley Cup Finals. Their best finish in franchise history remains their 2018 playoff run to the conference finals.

If there was ever a year to make a deep playoff run, it's this year. Winnipeg has been one of the best teams in the NHL all season and now has a Presidents' Trophy to show for it.

While the Presidents' Trophy is a tremendous feat, it's no indication of success in the playoffs. The last time a Presidents' Trophy winner went on to win a Stanley Cup was in 2013 when the Chicago Blackhawks did it.

The Jets will look to snap the recent cold streak for Presidents' Trophy winners.

Larry Lage of the Associated Press noted this will mark the first time in league history that the Original Six teams that are based in the United States—the Boston Bruins, the Chicago Blackhawks, the Detroit Red Wings and the New York Rangers—will all miss the playoffs.
