Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto's projected lineup for game against Winnipeg Jets | Oct. 28, 2024

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on the road to play the Winnipeg Jets on Monday at 7:30 p.m. EDT. Toronto is coming off a 4-3 OT loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

“Coming back in the last minute there, I mean, that’s huge,” Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz said, via NHL.com. “You got a point in this league, every point is huge. I mean, credit to them, they played a hard game tonight, and in overtime, 50-50 game. Anyone can get that extra point, and we were just on the wrong side of it tonight.”

Ahead of Monday's game, here is the projected Maple Leafs lineup.

Maple Leafs predicted lineup

• Matthew Knies - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner
• Bobby McMann - Max Domi - William Nylander
• Max Pacioretty - John Tavares - Nick Robertson

Defensemen

• Morgan Reilly - Oliver Ekman-Larsson
• Jake McCabe - Chris Tanev
• Simon Benoit - Conor Timmins

Toronto's blue line has been stellar this season. The Maple Leafs' defensive core has been able to shut down opposing offenses, as it plays a big role in blocking shots and being physical.

Goalies

• Joseph Woll
• Anthony Stolarz

Woll is expected to make his second start of the season for the Maple Leafs. The goaltender was injured to begin the year and in his season debut, he struggled. He allowed four goals on 26 shots as he has a 4.08 GAA and a .846 SV%.

Maple Leafs vs Jets: Preview

Toronto is off to a slow start to begin the season as the Maple Leafs are .500 at 4-4-1.

Winnipeg, meanwhile, has been a surprise team as it is 8-0 and the only undefeated team left in the NHL. Winnipeg has been playing well offensively, while goalie Connor Hellebuyck has been solid. Jets head coach Scott Arniel said about the win streak, via NHL.com.

"We try to do a pretty good job of just putting it behind us and moving on to the next opponent. We've got Toronto coming into our building. Every game, you've got to turn the last one off, turn this one on, and move forward here. Because it's a different component every night. You've got to be good every night."

Hellebuyck should be able to limit Toronto's offense again, while Woll will likely struggle again as he will take a bit to get his rhythm after missing time due to the injury.

Ultimately, the Jets will be able to get a big win at home and improve to 9-0.

Prediction: Winnipeg 4, Toronto 2.
