In an exciting fast-paced game, the Toronto Maple Leafs fell to the Winnipeg Jets. Leaving the conclusive answer of the best Canadian team of this year to be decided in a possible Stanley Cup final. Should both teams get so far in the playoffs, that would forever give more depth to the Matthews and Laine “rivalry”.
It’s no surprise that the outcome of the game was overshadowed by the same thing that has left its mark on the entire 2017 – 2018 NHL season. Goaltender interference. Unluckily for the Leafs, it was also overshadowed by the apparent injury of Travis Dermott.
