Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Winnipeg Jets: Preview

Toronto is coming off a 4-3 OT loss to the Boston Bruins. The Maple Leafs tied the game late but Auston Matthews turned the puck over in OT and Brad Marchand scored the winner.

“I thought somebody was coming back, and as I went to pass it, I looked up and that wasn’t the case. So I just tried to get back and make a play. And yeah, just [an] unfortunate bounce," Matthews said, via NHL.com.

The Maple Leafs offense has struggled to begin the season.

Winnipeg, meanwhile, is the only undefeated team left in the NHL, as the Jets are two games away from a perfect October. The Jets are playing well offensively, while Connor Hellebuyck is playing like the best goalie in the world. Jets coach Scott Arniel said, via NHL.com

"We try to do a pretty good job of juts 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."
