Jets vs Maple Leafs

The Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs meet on Thursday night for the second time this season.

Toronto is 30th in team save percentage (.842) over the last week of the season. Bunting to not score 1+ point (+104): Speaking of players going through scoring droughts, Michael Bunting’s right there with Rielly. The Maple Leafs are now rolling out five forwards on their top power-play unit. Historically, Rielly’s best avenue for scoring points has come via the power play. The pregame narrative: It’s important to keep the goaltending situations in mind for both teams when looking at the prop market. It brought his total up to four points across his last 11.

Morgan Barron - Mark Scheifele - Nikolaj Ehlers The Jets are not making any changes on defence which must be a nice change for Ville Heinola who had a rough game on Tuesday. The Leafs are coming off of a game that ended with Paul Maurice being fined $25 000 for calling out the refs based on their poor performance.

After the Canadian division season, the anticipation is always heightened when the Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets square off (7 p.m. EST, TSN 3&4).

They wanted to prove last year was a one-off and that they are a much better team and a much tighter team than the perception of last year. But for the most part, we have put a lot of focus on that. They came back to training camp with the attitude that they wanted to win. I think some of the dynamics of some of our players have changed. It is not the kind of thing I think a lot about. A lot of it comes through the Canadian division and playing them as often as we did. We have tried very hard to clean that up. We are going to have to work for everything we get. Samsonov recorded the win against the Jets back in October, stopping 30 of 31 in a 4-1 Leafs win. Sammy came in and did a terrific job for us. The [Leafs](https://mapleleafshotstove.com/) are controlling the run of play at a superior level to the Jets, but Winnipeg has the better special teams thus far (a top-10 power play and the second-best penalty kill) and is predictably receiving fantastic goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck. To that end, I think our players are getting comfortable in these spots.

Grant White breaks down Thursday's NHL game between the Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs.

That’s evident over their recent outings, with the Leafs attempting 11 or more quality opportunities in four of their previous five. Still, their output hasn’t caught up with production, and we could see an uptick in scoring from the Leafs over the coming games. That means the Jets are in the midst of playing nine straight games in nine different cities. Increased productivity has yielded increased output, with the Jets scoring 23 goals across the six-game sample and eclipsing the four-goal threshold in all but two of those contests. Winnipeg has turned on the taps over their recent schedule, attempting 11 or more high-danger chances in five of their past six games.
