Despite enduring a frustrating night in a goalless draw at home to Bristol City on Tuesday, the Lions actually gained a point on sixth-placed Leeds.
They are within striking distance of the top six ahead of Saturday's trip to Coventry.
Jackett said: "We gained another point and are now three points off the play-offs, which is testament to how well we have done this season.
"We are in a good position and we have got to see this as an opportunity. It is an exciting time."
