Let's start with this, Scheifele and Vilardi will miss tonight's game. So for a seriously offensively challenged team to start with, this is pretty bad news.
The Leafs, for all their faults that I'm sure they have, can be a pretty lethal offensive force. Chance of keeping Matthews off the scoresheet are not good, so that combined with Jets lack of offense almost has me feeling like Jets are starting the game down a goal.
I am however somewhat buoyed by how the Jets finished the game against the Bruins, despite being completely unable to score. The reuniting of the Lowry Nino Appleton line seemed to give the Jets a big lift.
And even though Jets are starting their backup tonight, I think Jets have the advantage in net, not to mention defensively.
Brace ourselves for some severe TO centric telecasting!
From Illegal Curve:
Jets projected lines & D pairs:
Connor - Namestnikov - Ehlers Niederreiter - Lowry - Appleton Perfetti - Toninato - Iafallo Barron - Kupari - Jonsson-Fjallby
Morrissey - DeMelo Dillon - Pionk Samberg - Schmidt
Brossoit Hellebuyck
Go JETS GO!
Gosh, I’m hoping that this is not a blowout by the Leafs. GO JETS GO, get the win😃👍! Hopefully🤞🤞!

Did Cuthbert just predict Matthews will get at least 2 points tonight to reach a milestone? Probably, but he'll be -2 in a Jets win.

Not sure why, but all the sites I use for stats during games are glitching. ESPN's Gamecast is missing half the normal data and MoneyPuck's shot chart isn't working.

Almost afraid to watch the Jet power play. Should be no fear where the expectations are rock bottom. It's not just that the power play is useless, but another confused power play can bleed all the momentum out of the 5 on 5 energy. Apparently the Moose have the same problem this season.

DeMelo's shot doesn't have much velocity but he's taking good shots for deflections. And his shots are on net.

Leafs looking like they are pushing back but they still only managed 3 shots with 5 minutes left.

Winnipeg almost has as much expected goals at 5 on 5 in the 1st as they did during the entire game versus Boston (1.26 to 1.11).

He will live but probably will not go out looking to get laid tonight.

I think it was charitable that he said midsection. Looked like the family jewels. Who knows.

Dominant from the shots perspective for the Jets.

That was an acceptable P1 Different flow and flavour to this game than the last one.

MoneyPuck is still glitching, but the expected goals were 1.5 to 0.59 for the Jets in the 1st.
Much better forecheck and they are sending pucks to the net...must have read my preview at AIH. lol
