With a few of their key players out of the lineup, the Toronto Maple Leafs weren’t able to get the job done against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, losing the game by a final score of 5-2.
Jack Campbell was pulled early for the first time this season, allowing three goals on his first six shots against. David Rittich played admirably in his place, allowing only one goal on 17 shots (plus an empty netter), but it wasn’t enough to slow down the Jets’ rush offense in this game.
To help break down what went wrong, who to blame, and which players actually played well tonight, we’ll go through each player individually – like we always do.
