# 2012–13 Winnipeg Jets season

The franchise played in Atlanta since the 1999–2000 NHL season, and relocated to Winnipeg following the conclusion of the 2010–11 NHL season. The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.

## Regular season

The Jets struggled on the power play during the regular season and finished 30th overall in power-play percentage at 14.09% (21 for 149).
