Winnipeg Jets newly appointed head coach has some tricks up his sleeve ahead of the 2024-25 NHL regular season.
The team recently wrapped up their coaching summit. The summit included the Moose and Jets coaching staff featuring intense conversations and strategies heading into the regular season. Scott Arniel gave fans a glimpse of what's to come, and the hot topic for the team is their new found love for analytics.
Analytics aren't everything, but they're a good way to spot weaknesses for both the opponent's lineup and internally. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar emphasized the role of analytics in the team's 4-1 series win over the Jets during the 2023-24 playoffs.
Some of the most competitive teams, like the Avalanche, have highly-involved analytics teams, and the fact Arniel is committed to incorporating it more going forward is a good sign of the team's direction. Assuming all goes well this summer, Arniel may be able to spot some of the key weaknesses the Jets have and push them in the right direction for the upcoming season. If he can plug those holes, the team will likely find much more success in the long run.
