The Toronto Maple Leafs kicked off their first series against the Winnipeg Jets*, having only played them once before this season. The two teams met in the fourth game of the season, a 3-1 Toronto Maple Leafs win. That game was a rare one-off between two teams in the North Division only schedule, but now the Leafs have their first real test against the team right behind them in the standings.
This first half of the period plays out like everyone expected of two offense oriented teams. Lots of fast action, strong plays and excellent chances.
Zach Hyman would come in and easily score on Connor Hellebuyck to put the Maple Leafs up by one.
