Winnipeg has had two full days off and is home with a dynamite defense, #7 in the NHL in goals allowed and in penalty killing. The Jets are off a bad loss, but 11-4 following a loss of 3 or more goals, as well as 7-1 when allowing a home loss of 3 goals or more. They face a Toronto team that is all about offense at #25 in the NHL in goals allowed. And that's why they've been struggling of late, on a 2-6 run. The Maple Leafs have totaled 19 goals in eight games. Those issues continued in Friday's 3-1 loss at Minnesota as they dropped to 2-4 on a season-high seven-game road trip. The Maple Leafs are 16-35 in their last 51 road games. When these teams play the home team is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings and the Maple Leafs are 1-5 in Winnipeg. Take Winnipeg.
