The 198889 Winnipeg Jets season saw the Jets finish in fifth place in the Smythe Division with a record of 26 wins, 42 losses, and 12 ties for 64 points.

Off-season

After two seasons of leading the Jets into the playoffs, the club re-signed head coach Don Maloney to a contract extension through the 1990-91 season on May 16, 1988. At the 1988 NHL Entry Draft held on June 11, 1988, the Jets selected forward Teemu Selanne with their first round draft pick, tenth overall. Selanne spent the 1987-88 playing with Jokerit junior hockey team, where in 33 games, he recorded 43 goals and 66 points.

On June 13, 1988, the Jets acquired Brent Ashton from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for Paul MacLean. Ashton had 26 goals and 53 points in 73 games with the Red Wings in 1987-88. MacLean, who had been with Winnipeg since the 1981-82 season, had 40 goals and 79 points in 77 games. In total, MacLean broke the 40 goal plateau three times as a member with the Jets.

On July 19, 1988, Winnipeg made a trade with the New Jersey Devils, acquiring goaltender Alain Chevrier and the Devils seventh round draft pick in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft for Steve Rooney and the Jets third round pick in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. Chevrier had a record of 18-19-3 with a 3.77 GAA in 45 games with the Devils in 1987-88, while Steve Rooney had seven goals and 13 points, along with 217 penalty minutes in 56 games with the Jets in 1987-88.

Late in training camp, on September 29, 1988, the Jets acquired Kent Carlson and the St. Louis Blues tenth round draft pick in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft and fourth round pick in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft for Peter Douris. Carlson would be traded away a week into the 1988-89 season to the Washington Capitals. On October 3, 1988, the Jets picked Dave Hunter from the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL Waiver Draft. Hunter split the 1987-88 season between the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins, scoring 14 goals and 35 points in 80 games.

Regular season

Despite finishing last in goals allowed (355), the Jets had the league's fifth-best power-play percentage in the league (22.13%).[2]
