As the Winnipeg Jets approach the 2025-26 NHL season, several players are on the cusp of achieving significant career milestones, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans. While team success remains the ultimate goal, individual achievements provide additional moments to celebrate and appreciate the contributions of key players. Here's a look at eight Jets players who could reach notable milestones in the upcoming season.

Kyle Connor: Connor, a premier scorer and underrated playmaker, is approaching two major milestones. He needs just two assists to reach 300 for his career and 18 points to hit the 600-point mark. Given his offensive prowess, he should achieve both milestones early in the season. Last season, Connor nearly reached 100 points, finishing with 97.

Mark Scheifele: Scheifele is set to continue adding to his already impressive Jets legacy. After surpassing Blake Wheeler as the franchise's all-time leading scorer, Scheifele is approaching 350 career goals, needing just 14 more. He is also 32 assists away from 500 in his career. While reaching 900 career points this season would require an exceptional offensive output, Scheifele is poised to hit the 350-goal and 500-assist milestones.

Connor Hellebuyck: The reigning Vezina Trophy winner, Hellebuyck, is closing in on a significant goaltending milestone. He is just five shutouts away from reaching 50 for his career. With his consistent dominance and the Jets' strong defensive play, reaching 50 career shutouts this season is a realistic goal.

Adam Lowry: The Jets' captain, Adam Lowry, is also approaching a notable milestone. He needs 27 points to reach 300 for his career. Achieving this mark would place him in an exclusive group of Jets 2.0 players who have reached 300 points with the team.

Nino Niederreiter: Niederreiter is in a unique situation, as he is approaching multiple milestones simultaneously. He is just shy of reaching 1,000 career games played and is close to 250 goals, 250 assists, and 500 points.

Vladislav Namestnikov: Namestnikov is on the verge of reaching 200 career assists, needing just one more to hit the mark.

Josh Morrissey: Morrissey is nearing the 300-assist milestone, needing only seven more. He is also 27 points away from reaching 400 career points.

Luke Schenn: Veteran defenseman Luke Schenn is approaching a significant milestone in terms of longevity. He needs to play in 28 games to reach 1,100 career games played. Only approximately 250 players in NHL history have reached this milestone.

These potential milestones offer Jets fans additional reasons to follow the team closely and celebrate the individual accomplishments of these players alongside the team's pursuit of success.
