Entering play Wednesday, the Jets were 13-12-8 on the road this season. Winnipeg had collected points in 16 of their past 23 road games, going 11-7-5. In 33 road games played by the Jets, 24 had been decided by one goal.

COVID-19 Grounding Jets

Two key members of the Jets are in COVID-19 protocol and won’t be playing Thursday. Forward Kyle Connor is leading Winnipeg with 41 goals and 82 points. Defenseman Nate Schmidt has 4-27-31 totals. Forward Cole Perfetti (upper-body injury) is on IR.

It wasn’t all roses for the Leafs in Boston. During the game, Toronto lost goaltender Peter Mrazek and defensemen Justin Holl (head) and Ilya Lyubushkin (upper-body injury) during the game.

The Leafs are already without goalie Jack Campbell (ribs), and defensemen Jake Muzzin (concussion) and Rasmus Sandin (knee), who are on IR. Forward Ondrej Kase (concussion) is also out.

Leafs Overcoming Substandard Goaltending

The Leafs are bit of an anomaly is that they are winning despite their goaltending. Toronto has surrendered four of more goals 10 times over the past 15 and 13 of the last 19 games.

Rookie Erik Kallgren came on in relief of Mrazek in Tuesday’s win over the Bruins. He’s won three of his six NHL decisions and posted a shutout in his NHL debut.

Jets vs Maple Leafs Projected Starting Goalies

Team Goalie Record SV% GAA
Jets Connor Hellebuyck 24-23-9 .911 2.94
Maple Leafs Erik Kallgren 3-2-1 .911 2.64

He might not be the top contender in the Vezina Trophy odds but Connor Hellebuyck was the 2019-20 Vezina Trophy winner. With the Jets fighting desperately for a playoff spot, they are riding their horse between the pipes.

Hellebuyck was in the net in Buffalo, his 13th appearance over the last 15 games. He carried a 7-4-1 record in his last 12 decisions into Wednesday’s game.

Jets vs Maple Leafs Pick & Prediction

Prior to taking the ice in Buffalo on Wednesday, Winnipeg was 7-13-2 against the Eastern Conference this season. The Jets are 4-3-2 in the second half of back-to-backs this season.

Winnipeg has won two straight over Toronto and four of the last six games played between the two teams in Toronto. Also of note in the NHL betting trends is that in seven of the last eight games between the Jets and Leafs, the puck line has been covered.

Go with the hot hand. Take the Leafs and play the puck line.

Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs PL -1.5 (+125)
