The Maple Leafs are hoping to end their three-game losing slide by extending their winning streak over the Jets to six games, while the Jets are looking to keep their dream start rolling with a ninth straight win tonight in Winnipeg.
The Leafs have won just four of nine games so far, and the Jets have won eight of eight, but they’ve both outscored the opposition by three goals at five-on-five. The special teams have been the major difference between the two teams, and the gap is vast so far.
The Jets, running two balanced units that have been equally as productive, are a league-leading 10 for 23 on the power play (43.5%) as well as 14 for 16 on the PK with one shorthanded goal for (87.5% with a -1 goal difference). The Leafs are a respectable 83.8% on the PK, but they’re taking so many penalties so far (36) that they’ve still conceded six goals on the PK in nine games, and their power play is a dismal 3 for 30 (10%). That leaves the Jets at +9 net on special teams, and the Leafs at -3, a massive 12-goal swing over a small sample of games.
In that vein, the Leafs are mixing up their power play units for tonight’s game, swapping Matthew Knies and Max Pacioretty onto Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews’ unit alongside Morgan Rielly. Knies, with four goals in nine games, has been the team’s most effective net-front presence early in the season, and the Leafs are hoping his size, strength, and finishing in front of the net, as well as Max Pacioretty’s size, experience, and shot threat, can help revitalize Matthews’ unit.
William Nylander will join Max Domi, John Tavares, Bobby McMann, and OEL on the other unit, as it appears Marc Savard and Craig Berube are going to split the time and create some internal competition in search of some desperately needed answers on the man advantage.
In other lineup news, Nick Robertson, with one goal/point in nine games (which came in garbage time in the blowout loss to Columbus), will sit out as a healthy scratch as Pontus Holmberg re-enters the lineup. Berube is returning to the familiar Matthews-Marner / Tavares-Nylander forward pairings in the top six, with Pacioretty joining Tavares’ wing and McMann shifting down with Domi and Pontus Holmberg.
The Jets run a balanced top-nine forward group, with a third line (Nino Nederreiter – Adam Lowry – Mason Appleton) that has been the best “third line” in the league, outscoring the opposition 7-1 at five-on-five through nine games. The Jets’ fourth line of Morgan Barron – Rasmus Kupari – Alex Iaffalo sits at 1-1 in 5v5 goals but has controlled north of 65% of the scoring chances and expected goals. The Leafs will need their loaded-up top two lines to take care of business in their matchups and their depth lines to hold their own against stiff competition tonight.
