Maple Leafs vs. Jets Prediction

I’m leaning towards Winnipeg here. Until we have a reason to not take the Jets, getting reasonable prices with them, I’m going to keep taking them. Toronto is always capable of going on the road and earning a win, but the Jets are just on another level right now and Toronto is stuck looking for answers after that tough loss in Boston. I’ll side with Winnipeg here.
