Manitoba's public health orders have restricted capacity at Canada Life Centre for much of the season. The Jets weren't allowed to have more than 250 fans in attendance until after Feb. 1.
The club reportedly explored alternative sites for home games in January - including asking season-ticket holders if they would approve a temporary move to SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon - before deciding to maintain the status quo.
Other Canadian NHL teams will also soon be permitted to welcome more fans into their facilities - though not as quickly - due to provincial governments easing restrictions.
The Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs will both be able to operate at 50% capacity as of Feb. 21 and fully by March 14.
