The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[5] The Jets advanced to the playoffs and faced the Calgary Flames in the qualifying round, losing in a four-game series.[6]

The Jets lost their season opener 6–4 to the New York Rangers on October 3.[7][8] The Jets struggled in the opening month of October, compiling a 6–7–0 record with 12 points out of a possible 26 to start the season.
