1994–95 Winnipeg Jets season

The 1994–95 Winnipeg Jets season was the team's 23rd season in Winnipeg and their 16th season in the National Hockey League. Despite missing the playoffs for the second year in a row, the Jets featured the second-best forward line in the NHL that season, as Keith Tkachuk, Teemu Selanne and Alexei Zhamnov scored a collective 74 goals in 48 games. This total was second only to the Philadelphia Flyers' top-line total of 80 (scored collectively by the "Legion of Doom").
