The New York Jets are no longer in the running for the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. However, it appears there's been a mix-up, as the Jets are actually a professional American football team that competes in the National Football League (NFL). The team that plays in the National Hockey League (NHL) is the New York Islanders, and they are the team that may have been eliminated from playoff contention. A more accurate summary would be: The New York Islanders have officially been eliminated from 2026 Stanley Cup playoff contention. Despite a promising start to the season, the team's recent slump has left them with little hope of making a postseason push. With their elimination, the Islanders will now focus on the final stretch of the regular season, trying to salvage what's left of their campaign.
