The 1991–92 Winnipeg Jets season was the Jets' twenty seventh season, nineteenth in the NHL. The Jets placed fourth in the Smythe, and qualified for the playoffs. The Jets lost the Division Semi-final to the Vancouver Canucks (4–3).

Offseason

On June 17, 1991, the Jets introduced John Paddock as the new head coach of the team, as Bob Murdoch was not brought back after Winnipeg failed to qualify for the post-season in 1990-91. This would be Paddock's first head coaching job in the NHL, however, he had six years of head coaching experience in the AHL, and led the Hershey Bears to the 1988 Calder Cup. Paddock was the head coach of the Binghamton Rangers in the 1990-91 season, leading the team to a 44-30-6 record.

With the fifth overall draft pick at the 1991 NHL Entry Draft held on June 22, 1991, the Jets selected defenseman Aaron Ward from the University of Michigan. In 46 games, Ward had eight goals and 19 points. Some other notable picks that Winnipeg made were Juha Ylonen in the fifth round, and Igor Ulanov in the tenth round.

On July 22, 1991, the Jets acquired Troy Murray and Warren Rychel from the Chicago Blackhawks for Bryan Marchment and Chris Norton. Murray was coming off a 14 goal and 37 point season in 75 games with the Blackhawks in 1990-91, and would be named the captain of the Jets for 1991-92. Rychel spent the 1990-91 with the Indianapolis Ice of the AHL, recording 33 goals and 63 points in 68 games, as well as 338 penalty minutes.

The Smythe Division added a sixth team for the 1991-92 season, as the expansion team San Jose Sharks joined the division.

Regular season

The Jets finished the regular season third in goaltending, allowing only 244 goals.[1] They also tied the Montreal Canadiens for the most shutouts, with 7.[2]
