# 2023–24 Winnipeg Jets season

The 2023–24 Winnipeg Jets season was the 25th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997, and the 13th in Winnipeg, since the franchise relocated from Atlanta prior to the start of the 2011–12 NHL season.
During the regular season the Jets were on an eight-game win streak, setting a franchise record for most consecutive wins.
On April 4, 2024, the Jets clinched their second consecutive playoff berth, and their sixth in the past seven seasons, following a 5–2 win over the Calgary Flames. They faced the Colorado Avalanche in the first round, and repeated their same fate from the previous season, losing in five games after going up 1-0.
