The 1994–95 Winnipeg Jets season was the team's 23rd season in Winnipeg and their 16th season in the NHL. 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 Selänne 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"). A major highlight of the season was Zhamnov's 5 goals scored in the Jets' 7-7 tie with Los Angeles Kings on April 1, 1995.
