Who would have thought that Toronto would give the lowly Islanders a tough time in front of their fans? The game highlighted the Leafs' defensive weaknesses, so the team will have to work hard to cut down on mistakes. Remember, the game ended 6:3 in favor of the New Yorkers. As a result, the Maple Leafs are now in trouble in the East standings. Their lead over fourth-placed Florida has evaporated, and one mistake could set Craig Berube's men back.
Winnipeg Jets
Winnipeg came to their senses just in time after a series of poor performances in late November and early December. It was a critical moment for the team this season because otherwise, the Jets would have had to settle for fourth or fifth place instead of first. Now, the Jets are not only leading the West, but they are also leading the championship, with two points clear of first-place New Jersey in the East. In their last two meetings, Winnipeg sensationally lost to Anaheim 3:2 and then took revenge by throwing pucks at Minnesota 5:0.
Expert Betting Tips
The bookies are backing Toronto to win, but the Jets have a better chance of winning. They scored five unanswered goals with great defensive and offensive play against Minnesota. On the other hand, the Leafs are coming into the match, having lost 3:6 to the Islanders. Nor did the away crowd stop Winnipeg from scoring. They have 12 wins from 19 away games this season.
