The NHL announced on Friday Jets Head Coach Rick Bowness has been named a finalist for the Jack Adams Award – the award given to the coach considered to have "contributed the most to his team's success."
The 69-year-old bench boss finished his second season with Winnipeg, leading the team to a 52-24-6 record.
The Jets finished second in the Central Division and second in the entire Western Conference.
The team also finished the regular season allowing the fewest goals with 199.
