    Toronto Maple Leafs: 

    Analysis:

    Leafs came out aggressive and looking ready to take over the game. But a questionable penalty on Kadri cost them the lead going into the 2nd period.

    Need to Do:

    Leafs need to continue being aggressive and attacking the defence of the Jets.

    PP                 0/2                   1/2

     

    Toronto Maple Leafs:

    Analysis:

    Leafs came out flat from the beginning and looked like they were just going to take the period off. Auston Matthews took a hard hit to the shoulder early in the 2nd period and didn’t return to the lineup in that period, remains to see if he will return tonight.

    Need to Do:

    Leafs better come to play in the 3rd even without Matthews, They have a huge hole to dig themselves out of.

     

    Third Period

    Jets Penalty – 9:31 – Jacob Trouba, 2 mins for Tripping

    Toronto:

    Analysis:

    Leafs were good for half of the first period and terrible in the 2nd, but Frederik Andersen bailed them out and kept them in the game until the 3rd. Where even without Auston Matthews the Leafs came out flying scoring 3 goals in the 3rd for the comeback win.

    Toronto Maple Leafs:

    Analysis:

    Gameday Preview:  Toronto Maple Leafs vs Winnipeg Jets

     

    Time: Wednesday, October 24th 2018

    Toronto: 6-3-0 for 12 points

    Winnipeg: 6-2-1 for 13 points

    The Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg meet in a Wednesday matchup. 2 teams with 6 wins and both having offences that can score lots of goals. The problem this year for the Jets has been the goaltending of Connor Hellebuyck. After having a phenomenal season last year he seems to have come out a little flat in the 2019 season. While the Leafs look to kick start the offence that has been sleeping for the last 2 games.

    Look for Auston Matthews to be more aggressive tonight, but also look for Dustin Byfuglien to be extra physical.

    4 Keys to Winning against Winnipeg:

    1. Stay Out of the Box
      1. The Jets own the 4th best Powerplay in the league, they will burn you.
    2. Win faceoffs
      1. Winnipeg is not a great faceoff team. Win more faceoffs the more time you will have with the puck.
    3. Kadri
      1. Something has got to give with Nazem Kadri, so far he has been held goal-less this season and he is what drives that 3rd Need to find a way to get him going.
    4. Force the Jets to take penalties
      1. 2nd best powerplay in the league and with the offence seemingly drying up over the past 2 games, this is the perfect place to kick start it.

  • News and Notes: October 23rd, 2018

    These are your news and notes for Tuesday, October 23rd, 2018.

    There were four contests in the NHL yesterday…

      • The Washington Capitals took on the Vancouver Canucks and would go on to win the contest by a score of 5-2.John Carlson, Alex Ovechkin, and Nicklas Backstrom would all find the scoresheet and Backstrom would hit the 600 career assist milestone marker.

        Carlson would register his fifth multi-point game on the season and the second game with at least three points. Carlson has started the season by becoming the 10th defenceman with five multi-point games in his first eight games on the season.

        Alex Ovechkin also netted his 25th games where he registered at least four points in a contest as well as having his 123rd multi-goal game of his career and the third on the season.

        In addition to the previously mentioned feat, Ovechkin also netted his 103rd game-winning goals which would be his 233rd power-play goal and moved him past Dino Ciccarelli for sole possession of ninth place on the all-time list for power-play goals.

        TXHT has your recap of the contest between the Washington Capitals and Vancouver Canucks here.

      • The Colorado Avalanche trio of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Gabriel Landeskog all made the scoresheet once again, combining for the Avalanche’s first goal of the game in Colorado’s 4-1 rout of the Philadelphia Flyers.Colorado finished their road trip 3-0-1 and moved them to a record of 6-1-2 on the season.Rantanen and MacKinnon became the first teammates in franchise history to begin the season with point streaks of nine games.

        Rantanen would also move into a first place tie with Auston Matthews for most points on the season with 16.

      • Carolina Hurricanes Sebastian Aho collected an assist when Micheal Ferland scored to extend Aho’s season-opening point streak to nice games and inching closer to the franchise record of 11 set by Ron Francis during the 1984-85 season.

        Carolina would go on to defeat the Detroit Red Wings 3-1 at Little Caesears Arena.

        Justin Faulk opened the scoring for Carolina and eclipsed Glen Wesley for second place on the Hurricanes/Whalers list for career points by a defenceman.

    • The Winnipeg Jets went on to defeat the St. Louis Blues 5-4 in overtime.

      Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele would score twice in the third period, as the Jets overcame two different deficits. Scheifele would register an assist on Jacob Trouba’s game-winner as Winnipeg improved to a record of 14-0-1 in regular season contests since March 2.

      Monday’s contest marked the sixth occurrence in Thrashers/Jets history that the club has overcome multiple deficits in the third period and to win the contest. This has occurred on two other times since the club relocated to Winnipeg and the first occurrence since the 2016-2017 season.

      There have been 16 contests this season when a team has comeback to win after having multiple deficits.

    Yesterday’s results (home team in CAPS):

    • Colorado 4, PHILADELPHIA 1

    There were eight contests in the NHL yesterday…

    • Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers went on to defeat the Winnipeg Jets 5-4 in overtime.Connor McDavid scored twice in the contest and in doing so, McDavid continued a streak of attributing to all of the Oilers goals thus far on the season. McDavid became the first player in NHL history to record a point on all nine of the team’s goals to begin the season. The NHL record for most points by a player at any point is 15, a mark set by Jaromir Jagr in the 1999-2000 season.
    • Kyle Palmieri would score for New Jersey and became the first player in League history to score the opening goal for his team in four straight games to open up the season. Only one player has started off with five and that mark belongs to Johnny Bucyk during the 1965-66 season.

      New Jersey would go on to win the contest 3-0 over the Dallas Stars.

      Keith Kinkaid would go on to register 24 saves to lead the Devils to a 4-0-0 record on the season thus far. This is the fourth time in franchise history that the Devils have won at least their first four games to start off the season. The last time they started off 4-0-0 was during the 1995-96 season.

    • Vegas Golden Knights G Marc-Andre Fleury won his 407th game to move into a tie for tenth place with Glenn Hall on the all-time list for wins by a goaltender.

  • 2018-19 Winnipeg Jets Preview

    WIN

     

    Last Season: 52-20-12 104 pts (2nd in Central Division; Lost in Western Conference Final)

    Key Additions: G Laurent Brossoit

     

    Key Departures: D Toby Enstrom, F Paul Stastny, F Joel Armia, F Matt Hendricks, F Shawn Matthias, and G Michael Hutchinson

     

    Top Questions Facing the Jets:

    1. Can the Winnipeg Jets rise to the occasion?

    The hockey world is buzzing about the Winnipeg Jets and their continued growth the past several seasons, even so The Hockey News is sticking to their prediction from the Future Watch 2015 issue where they tout the Jets will be the 2019 Stanley Cup Champions. Can the Jets live up to these expectations?

     

    2. How will the Jets handle the adversity?

    With how close the Jets were to the Stanley Cup Finals this past postseason they cannot sit back and be content with how they are currently. They are going to have to push back all of the adversity that will be put before them this season and continue to play hard. The Jets are clearly one of the best teams in the West and they need to continue playing that way to be the best team in the West.
