Winnipeg Jets chairman Mark Chipman doesn't seem confident that the club's dwindling attendance figures bode well for the future of his team.

The Jets' season-ticket base has fallen from around 13,000 to roughly 9,500 in the last three years, the club confirmed, according to The Athletic's Chris Johnston.

"I wouldn't be honest with you if I didn't say, 'We've got to get back to 13,000,'" Chipman said. "This place we find ourselves in right now, it's not going to work over the long haul. It just isn't."

The Jets' arena, now known as the Canada Life Centre, is the NHL's smallest permanent facility at a capacity of 15,225 for hockey games.

Winnipeg is averaging only 13,098 in 28 home games this season, according to Hockey Reference. That exceeds only the Arizona Coyotes, who are playing in an NCAA building. The Jets' 87.3% capacity is the third-worst rate in the league ahead of only the Buffalo Sabres and San Jose Sharks.

The Jets enjoyed sellout crowds for nearly a decade upon relocating from Atlanta in 2011. But their attendance has been trending downward since the pandemic, and Chipman acknowledged the NHL has taken notice.

"They pay attention," he said. "They see the numbers. They see where the league's at and where we're at. And we're an outlier right now. So, rightfully, they want to know, what are you doing? What's going on? What happened and what are you doing about it?"

The Jets have exceeded expectations on the ice despite their attendance troubles. They entered Friday with the best points percentage in the Central Division, trailing the first-place Dallas Stars by three points and the second-place Colorado Avalanche by two with four fewer games played than both squads.

In October, Chipman dismissed the notion that he'd sell or relocate the team.

"Because it happened once is it a concern it could happen again because you're the smallest market? I'd say, 'Not on our watch,'" he said.

The original Jets left Winnipeg to become the Coyotes in 1996.

Relocation and expansion have been hot topics in NHL circles lately. Last fall, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said some of the challenges the league faced in Atlanta could now be overcome. Then, in January, Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith sent a letter to the NHL formally requesting expansion to Salt Lake City.

New Jersey Devils head coach Lindy Ruff took aim at an unexpected target when asked about the team's recent woes on the man advantage.

"When you're struggling, and I imagine you've asked every player, now they're feeling it," Ruff told reporters following a 5-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday night.

"You guys are creating excess pressure," the bench boss continued. "Us, as a staff, we'll go through that power play. We changed things up. We met with individual groups tonight versus, usually, you meet with all 10 or 11 of your power-play guys. We'll go through the whole thing again and just try to keep getting better."

The Devils enter Friday's action with the 15th-ranked power play in the NHL this season, converting 22% of the time. But it's been much worse lately, as they've scored in only two of 46 opportunities in the last 14 games. That's by far the worst rate in the league in that span.

New Jersey has had to rely on two rookies, Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec, as power-play quarterbacks with Dougie Hamilton out long term due to injury.

"When we have two young defensemen that are anchoring, there's really not a replacement up top for us," Ruff said.

"They've probably done a better than expected job for me - both those kids - and they're going to continue to grow. There's a lot of stuff you like about their game. But ... with young defensemen, there are going to be mistakes and poor decisions at times. But you have to just live with that and grow through it."

The Devils fell to 28-24-4 with the loss and now sit sixth in the Metropolitan Division by points percentage.

Patrick Kane's departure from the Chicago Blackhawks last season was well-documented, but he says it likely would never have happened had the organization committed to keeping him for the rest of his career.

“If they came to me and said, ‘We want you to be a Blackhawk for life. Can we work something out?’ I think it probably would have been tough to say no, just because of what happened there and the success we had and just the relationship with the organization,” Kane told The Athletic's Scott Powers.

The veteran forward waived his no-trade clause last February, allowing the Blackhawks to trade him to the New York Rangers. Kane departed Chicago after 16 seasons with the club that included three Stanley Cup championships.

"Being there for a long time and kind of being comfortable in the situation and just kind of what you do on a day-to-day basis, there’s definitely some comfort in that,” he said.

“But I think it’s been good for me to have some new experiences. And even though it didn’t go as well as I’d hoped in New York, I still thought that was a great experience for me. Even here, coming to Detroit, kind of a team on the rise that can have some success, it’s been fun to be here and try and build that with this group.”

Kane's nagging hip injury limited him in his brief tenure with the Rangers. The American winger collected only five goals and seven assists over 19 games before adding a goal and five assists in seven playoff contests. His recovery from offseason hip surgery forced him to miss nearly two months to start this campaign before he signed with the Red Wings as a free agent in late November.

Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson has overhauled the roster since taking over from Stan Bowman, who stepped down in October 2021. The futures of Kane and fellow ex-franchise fixture Jonathan Toews were persistent storylines last season as Davidson made it clear he was leaning toward more of a youth movement.

Toews eventually decided to take time away from hockey this season, the first campaign the club has played without him since 2006-07. Kane and Toews both debuted with the Blackhawks in 2007-08.

William Nylander believes the Toronto Maple Leafs' four straight victories can be attributed to the club's desire to win without suspended defenseman Morgan Rielly.

"We've answered the bell, and I think Mo kind of lit the fire under the team, so I think, yeah, we're battling for Mo," Nylander said after his team defeated the St. Louis Blues 4-2 on Monday.

Toronto has outscored opponents 21-7 during its streak, which matches a season high for consecutive wins set two other times (November and January) this season.

The NHL suspended Rielly for five games after he cross-checked Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig, who took a slap shot into an empty net in his team's 5-3 win over the Leafs on Feb. 10.

Matthew Knies echoed Nylander's comments about the experienced defenseman and added that they're playing for Rielly because he stood up for his teammates.

"It's been (a) huge (rallying point)," the rookie said. "He kind of defended the respect of our team, and I think we're playing really hard now. He's a valuable piece to us, and we're excited that he's going to come back here soon. But I think we're playing really good hockey, and I think (his absence has) given us a jump."

Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews, who is this season's NHL goals leader, thinks it's more about adjustments than the suspension inspiring the team.

"I'm not sure (it's been) as much of a rallying point as much as just knowing that (we're) missing a very key piece of our team and our defensive core, and knowing you've got to step up collectively and do a job, and guys that are coming in and playing more minutes ... are going to be required to do more," Matthews said.

"So when you have that ... obviously it's great to have these guys come in ... and it just gives them more confidence and gives us confidence as a team."

Following the loss to the Senators in which the Rielly-Greig incident occurred, the Maple Leafs defeated the Blues, the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Anaheim Ducks before prevailing over St. Louis again Monday.

Rielly, the longest-tenured member of the squad, will sit out Wednesday's road meeting with the Arizona Coyotes but can return Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Monday's win was the start of a four-game road swing for Toronto that concludes Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche.

Nico Hischier and Nathan Bastian each scored a pair of goals to lead the New Jersey Devils to a 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in the outdoor game at MetLife Stadium on Saturday night.

Hischier, the Devils captain, also added an assist in the win. Bastian's second was an empty-netter. Owen Tippett potted two tallies of his own for the Flyers.

New Jersey opened the scoring on Hischier's first of the night just 32 seconds into the open-air tilt. He notched the second-fastest goal to start an outdoor game in NHL history behind Colby Armstrong's marker that came 21 seconds into the 2008 Winter Classic.

The Devils led 2-0 after the first period, but the Flyers showed more life in the second stanza. Philadelphia set an NHL record for the most shots in a single period of an outdoor game with 25, but New Jersey led 4-2 heading into the final frame.

Hischier nabbed his second goal of the contest less than three minutes into the third period. He and Bastian put their "Sopranos" and "Jersey Shore" attire back on to meet with reporters postgame and after all of the Devils donned the wardrobe for their entrance.

The Flyers came into the stadium dressed as Rocky, wearing grey sweats like the iconic character did in a classic training montage.

The Stadium Series' next installment is scheduled for Sunday between the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders. It'll also be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The would-be No. 1 name on the list in Elias Lindholm has already been shipped out, as have fellow coveted players Sean Monahan and Andrei Kuzmenko.

Even with those players off the board, there are plenty of intriguing options for contenders and retooling teams alike. Those options include pending unrestricted free agents who could be snagged as rentals, as well as those under contract beyond 2023-24.

This list takes into account both the likelihood of a trade and the player's skill level, placing more emphasis on the former. The skaters and goaltenders below aren't ranked solely by their level of talent or production.

Here are the top players who could be sent packing ahead of the March 8 deadline.

1. Chris Tanev

Can submit 10-team no-trade list

Tanev has been the consensus top candidate to be moved ever since the Calgary Flames traded Lindholm away for the package including Kuzmenko on Jan. 31. Calgary has reportedly fielded calls on Tanev from numerous teams, including the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators.

The grizzled-yet-still-reliable shutdown blue-liner will likely need an extension in place with the acquiring squad, which may explain why a deal hasn't happened yet. Still, Tanev should remain in heavy demand in the lead-up to the deadline.

2. Noah Hanifin

Can submit 8-team no-trade list

Hanifin's future remains unclear, but the Flames rearguard would likely be the best player available at his position if the two sides come up empty in extension talks. He didn't want to sign over the summer but was still open to re-upping with Calgary at the time. However, as long as that new contract doesn't materialize, he'll be among the biggest names out there.

3. Adam Henrique

Can submit 10-team no-trade list

Henrique will garner plenty of interest for several reasons. The Anaheim Ducks forward has a wealth of experience, for one. While his cap hit isn't ideal, he's a proven first-liner who can solidify a better team's top six by lining up either on the wing or down the middle.

4. Sean Walker

Walker has fit in perfectly with the Philadelphia Flyers ever since they landed him in a three-way swap last June. While his club has exceeded expectations this season, the defenseman remains an appealing trade target given his team-friendly contract and the lack of an extension that would take him off the market. As Torts said, the Flyers would be "dopes" not to listen to offers for Walker.

5. Vladimir Tarasenko

Has full no-trade clause

When Tarasenko inked a one-year pact with the Senators last July, it made him a prime candidate to be moved at this deadline if Ottawa's season went south. With the Sens bottom of the Atlantic Division, it wouldn't be shocking for general manager Steve Staios to try and get something for the still-effective Russian winger rather than risk losing him for nothing this summer.

6. Jake Allen

Can submit 7-team no-trade list this season, 3-team list in 2024-25

It's no secret or surprise that the Montreal Canadiens are in sell mode given where they are in their rebuild and the fact that they already traded Monahan in early February. Allen has value as an experienced goaltender - and likely the best one available - on a reasonable contract, even though that pact extends beyond the current campaign.

7. Jake Guentzel

Can submit 12-team no-trade list

Guentzel would be much higher on the list - potentially even at the top of it - if it were obvious he'd be shipped out. While there hasn't been any strong indication that'll happen, the Pittsburgh Penguins' diminished playoff hopes and his expiring contract still make him a strong candidate.

8. Scott Laughton

Players under contract for two more seasons beyond the current campaign aren't always hot commodities at the deadline. But Laughton's cap hit is quite team-friendly, and his game - characterized by sandpaper and penalty-killing prowess - is tailor-made for the playoffs. The Flyers could very well keep him for a postseason run of their own, but other contenders could come calling - especially considering Philadelphia reportedly gauged interest in the forward in early February.

9. Alexandre Carrier

Carrier isn't the flashiest name on this list by any means, and he's undersized by NHL standards. But the Nashville Predators defenseman is underrated, and he wouldn't be a financial burden. Carrier doesn't rack up points but is fundamentally sound, blocks shots, and would be a safe addition to a contending club's third pairing.

10. Jakub Chychrun

Can submit 10-team no-trade list

If this is giving you deja vu, it's understandable. The Senators - who acquired Chychrun from the Arizona Coyotes last March after he was on the block for over a year - have reportedly been listening to teams interested in him. He called that notion "ridiculous," but Ottawa is far from a contender this campaign and already has rearguards Thomas Chabot and Jake Sanderson signed long term at over $8 million apiece.

11. Frank Vatrano

Vatrano's enjoying a career year with the Ducks, so his value's peaking at an ideal time. He's not a rental, but dealing the Massachusetts-born forward - who recently earned his first All-Star nod - would still be a logical move for Anaheim, a club that's clearly rebuilding with a younger core.

12. Nick Seeler

If the Flyers look to sell, Seeler might be the easiest player on their roster to trade. He won't be as coveted as some of his teammates, but the Minnesota-born blue-liner provides physicality and blocked-shot prowess on a league-minimum contract.

13. Jordan Eberle

Can submit 16-team no-trade list

The Seattle Kraken have taken a step back this season, and as a pending UFA with experience, Eberle would be a natural candidate to be moved. His goal-scoring has dipped this campaign, but he's otherwise been a lock to produce at a 20-goal clip, doing so over an 82-game pace (0.24 per game) in all 13 of his previous campaigns.

14. Alexander Wennberg

Can submit 10-team no-trade list

The longer the Kraken remain outside the playoff picture, the more likely they are to sell. Wennberg would be a trade candidate by virtue of his contract status and his value as a top-six center. The Swede plays on Seattle's top power-play and penalty-killing units, so he's versatile, too.

15. Joel Edmundson

Can submit 10-team no-trade list

Edmundson is a physical defenseman who once upon a time helped the St. Louis Blues win the Stanley Cup. Regardless of how significant those contributions were, that type of experience is coveted come deadline time. The Washington Capitals are fading in the Metropolitan Division, so they'll clearly try to get what they can for Edmundson before March 8.

16. Ilya Lyubushkin

One of several players the Ducks may ship out, Lyubushkin's candidacy to be moved is academic. Not only does his contract make him an affordable rental, but he offers defensive skills for contenders looking for depth on the back end.

17. Pat Maroon

Can submit 16-team trade list

Maroon's resume speaks for itself, even if he earned his three consecutive Stanley Cup rings somewhat coincidentally. It's undeniable, though, that the veteran Minnesota Wild forward has plenty of playoff experience (150 games, to be exact). That'll undoubtedly entice contenders to pick up the phone.

18. Marc-Andre Fleury

Has full no-movement clause

That protection in Fleury's contract always makes a trade less than certain, but he's waived a similar clause before. The three-time champion, who now ranks second all time in wins, isn't what he once was. But he'd be a big boost in the dressing room and on the ice as a backup on a contender.

19. Pavel Buchnevich

Can submit 12-team no-trade list

As is evident above, there are several reasons why Buchnevich may not be traded. The urgency level isn't high given he's under contract for another season after this one, plus his cap hit and modified no-trade list could hinder a deal. But the retooling Blues would be foolish not to at least listen to offers for the productive winger.

20. Anthony Duclair

The San Jose Sharks are the most obvious seller as we approach this deadline, and Duclair would be wise to prepare for a trade. The winger has struggled since returning from a torn Achilles with the Florida Panthers last season. But he racked up 31 goals and 27 assists over 74 games with the Cats in 2021-22.

21. Tyson Barrie

Barrie's limitations are pretty well known by now. He's an offense-first defenseman who's most effective on the power play. Still, the Nashville Predators rearguard could have some appeal for contenders looking to improve their play on the man advantage.

22. Morgan Frost

Flyers general manager Daniel Briere was reportedly willing to listen to offers on basically every asset he had last April. He repeated his willingness to try anything to reshape the roster a few months later. Frost isn't a pending UFA and is still fairly young, but he could be a trade target given his palatable contract and improved play lately.

23. Dominik Kubalik

Kubalik is an obvious candidate to be dealt because of his expiring deal and the low average annual value of his contract. The Senators winger isn't producing offensively as he has in the past, but he posted 30 goals in only 68 games as a rookie in 2019-20 and 20 tallies in 81 contests last season.

24. Kaapo Kahkonen

There aren't likely going to be many goalies available ahead of the deadline, so Kahkonen should garner some interest by default. Contenders could do worse at the backup netminder position, and Kahkonen would be easier to acquire than his more coveted counterparts.

25. Erik Johnson

Johnson would be the quintessential trade-deadline rental. The veteran defenseman has no contract for next season, and his current AAV isn't astronomical. The Buffalo Sabres have to accept they're sellers soon, and when they do, Johnson could be among the first players they jettison.

The MVP race is really starting to solidify now that we're into the unofficial second half of the 2023-24 NHL season.

A quintet of superstars continues to dominate, but one game-breaker in particular appears dead set on finally winning the Hart after numerous near misses.

Meanwhile, Sam Reinhart has impressed while carrying the Florida Panthers, but our fifth-ranked candidate is still outproducing his teammates by a much wider margin than the ex-Buffalo Sabres forward.

Here are our top five MVP contenders with the All-Star break now firmly in the rearview mirror.

xGF% = Expected goals for percentage at five-on-five

5. Artemi Panarin

Reinhart has a case here: He's torn it up lately in terms of goal-scoring, and his underlying numbers are a bit better than those of Panarin. But the New York Rangers winger is still outpacing his teammates by eight goals, four assists, and 20 points (compared to Reinhart's 12, two, and 11, respectively).

It's not like Panarin has cooled off dramatically since our last edition on Jan. 5, either. He has seven goals and seven assists over 14 games in that span. The Russian has nine more even-strength goals than Reinhart on the season, and no one has required more power-play situations to score than the Cats standout, who leads the league by far with 21 tallies on the man advantage.

Panarin's analytics are nothing to sneeze at, either. In addition to his commendable xGF%, the Rangers have 56.9% of the scoring chances with him on the ice at five-on-five this season (53.99 xGF% and 55.6 SCF% since our last edition). The superior contenders each have better all-around figures (standings points above replacement, wins above replacement, and goals above replacement), but Panarin still warrants a spot on the fringes of the discussion.

4. David Pastrnak

Pastrnak is still consistently racking up big numbers, and more importantly, he's outgunning his Boston Bruins teammates by eight goals, 15 assists, and a whopping 27 points. The Czech catalyst is doing most of his damage at even strength, ranking third in the league in both goals and points in those situations on the season.

The well-dressed winger has favorable underlying numbers, both for the campaign as a whole and since we last evaluated this race. Those categories include xGF%, SCF%, SPAR, WAR, and GAR, and he ranks among the NHL's best dozen or so players in the latter three categories.

Pastrnak has also been one of the league's most potent players since our last edition, with 10 goals and 12 assists in 14 games. The Bruins' depth at every position might discourage some voters from considering Pastrnak a contender, but frankly, it shouldn't. The fact that he's been miles above that talented supporting cast only further bolsters his case to be in the mix.

3. Connor McDavid

It still feels weird that McDavid hasn't established himself as the clear Hart front-runner, seeing as how he's handily won this trophy three times. But his less-than-superhuman start, an injury, and the Edmonton Oilers' early struggles as a whole allowed two other players to overtake him in the MVP race.

To McDavid's credit (and to no one's surprise), he's done an admirable job of returning to his otherworldly form. It's no coincidence the Oilers just reeled off a 16-game win streak, as well. He ranks third in the NHL in points per game on the campaign, and he's among the league's absolute best in even-strength points, too, despite missing time with said injury.

McDavid has a 61.57 SCF% to match a similarly sublime xGF%. His SPAR, WAR, and GAR numbers are all elite as well, as he ranks seventh in the former and eighth in the two latter statistics league-wide. This illustrates how his two-way game has allowed him to get back into the Hart hunt as opposed to his offensive production alone.

2. Nikita Kucherov

Forget about Kucherov's less-than-enthusiastic display in the Skills Competition last weekend. The Tampa Bay Lightning winger has proven time and time again that he excels when it counts. He's leading the NHL in assists by one and points by two this season. Only our front-runner has more even-strength points on the campaign.

But it's not just about the production itself. Kucherov has a remarkable 33 more points than second-ranked Brayden Point (who's posting over a point per game in his own right) on the Lightning. The Russian also has eight more goals and 12 more assists than his closest teammates.

Kucherov - the 2018-19 MVP - has been a two-way force as well, sitting among the NHL's best in SPAR, WAR, and GAR this season. Back when he won this honor, he led the league with 87 assists and 128 points. There's still a way to go in 2023-24, but he's on pace to have the best campaign of his career in terms of both goals and points with 52 and 137, respectively, over 81 games.

The Bolts sit fifth in the Atlantic Division by points percentage, and it's entirely fair to wonder how far they'd fall without Kucherov putting them on his back. They'll depend on him even more now that Mikhail Sergachev's out indefinitely. Kucherov posted nearly two points per game in the 17 contests Sergachev missed before his latest injury.

1. Nathan MacKinnon

MacKinnon's Hart woes are well-documented, but as a reminder: He's a two-time second-place finisher, having narrowly lost to Taylor Hall in 2017-18 and then to Leon Draisaitl in 2019-20. MacKinnon earned the third-most votes in the abbreviated 2021 campaign and placed fifth last season. The Colorado Avalanche dynamo is consistently in the MVP conversation, but he has yet to actually win it.

Well, the Nova Scotian center is now putting himself in position to finally claim the hardware. MacKinnon leads the NHL in all three of the aforementioned two-way categories by wide margins. The league's even-strength points leader has also scored 78% of his goals (25) in those situations, trailing only Auston Matthews among all skaters in terms of his total.

MacKinnon continues to pursue only teammate Mikko Rantanen in average ice time among all NHL forwards (sitting behind him by four seconds), and he leads third-ranked Kucherov by over a full minute. MacKinnon trails Kucherov for the league lead by one assist and two points. He also has at least 18 more points than any other Avalanche skater.

Given his perennial candidacy and past disappointments in this regard, he's becoming the sentimental favorite. But the numbers more than back him up. If MacKinnon can maintain this level of both production and importance to his team, he should finally get his Susan Lucci moment.

Mikhail Sergachev's return from injury was short-lived, as he appeared to sustain another significant one in his first game back.

The Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman - who was playing for the first time since Dec. 19 - came down awkwardly on his left leg after colliding with New York Rangers forward Alexis Lafreniere in the second period Wednesday night.

Sergachev had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher, and the team later ruled him out for the rest of the game.

The Lightning blue-liner missed 17 games with his previous injury. He played 10:22 before being forced to depart Wednesday.

Sergachev has been a key member of Tampa Bay's back end for years. He's a fixture in the top four when healthy, and the Bolts signed him to an eight-year, $68-million contract extension in the summer of 2022.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon was tossed from Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins for a hit to the head of opposing forward Noel Acciari.

Dillon caught Acciari up high against the glass early in the second period. The hit was so hard that it knocked Acciari's helmet off.

The officials gave Dillon a match penalty, which included a five-minute major.

The Winnipeg blue-liner has been suspended once in his career, serving one game for slashing in 2017.

The NHL has told the Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils, and Philadelphia Flyers they'll be granted salary cap relief for the players on leave amid the 2018 world junior sexual assault case, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed to The Athletic's Ian Mendes and Chris Johnston.

Dillon Dube of the Flames, Cal Foote and Michael McLeod of the Devils, and Carter Hart of the Flyers have all been charged with one count of sexual assault in the police investigation into an alleged incident involving members of Team Canada's junior squad at a London, Ontario hotel. McLeod is also facing an additional sexual assault charge.

All four players requested and received leaves of absence from their clubs in January. Those players, along with ex-NHLer Alex Formenton, separately surrendered to police.

London police chief Thai Truong publicly apologized Monday to the woman who said she was sexually assaulted for the length of time it took to complete the investigation. The initial probe was closed in 2019 and reopened in 2022.

Hockey Canada said Monday that all 22 players on Canada's 2018 world junior team remain suspended from any international competition where the governing body has control over the roster. That doesn't include the recently confirmed 4 Nations Faceoff in 2025, which is an NHL/NHLPA event.
