TORONTO - Alexander Burmistrov atoned for two bad penalties, and the Winnipeg Jets made good on their vow to respond after a clunker in Montreal.
Burmistrov scored the game-winning goal out of the penalty box to give the Jets a 4-2 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night at Air Canada Centre.
It was a much stronger effort from Winnipeg (8-4-1) after getting crushed by the Canadiens. Coach Paul Maurice didn't like his team's game Sunday, including his own performance.
The bounce back in Toronto was more than respectable. Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien, cleared by the NHL after a hearing for a hit on Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher, scored early, and Mark Scheifele also had a goal.
