The Toronto Maple Leafs are in Winnpeg to face off against the Jets tonight for the final time this season. A win by the Leafs tonight would put them up 10 points up on a Jets team that is increasingly desperate to stay in the playoff race. Here's hoping the Leafs can drive the first nail in their proverbial playoff coffin.
As per Jonas Siegel's Twitter account yesterday, the lineup for the Leafs will remain unchanged, with the exception of Jonas Gustavsson getting the start in goal. I, for one, think this is actually my favorite incarnation of the Leafs' lineup so far this season. No Mike Komisarek, no Philippe Dupuis, no Colton Orr, and the kids developing in the minors.
The Jets, for their part, will be missing their leading goal-scorer Evander Kane (concussion), and Tim Stapleton (lower-body).
Here's a video of François Allaire talking about the Leafs' current goaltending situation going into tonight:
