Winnipeg Jets»
Now "Winnipeg" is firmly entrenched in the top four, and is already preparing for the playoffs. In previous meetings, the Jets players began to fail, losing their driving motivation. So the team lost on the road in the match with "Ottawa", after which they managed to defeat "Calgary", but then lost on their own site to the" Senators", and in their last meeting they defeated the" Jets "on their own site"Vancouver".
Toronto Maple Leafs»
Toronto's players are looking good this season. This allows the "wedge leaves" to go to the first position in their division. In attack, the Toronto players are extremely cool, but the defense still needs to be worked on. After giving away a nondescript stretch of defeats, the team began to regain its confidence. In recent meetings, they rarely lose, being stronger at home than Vancouver and Montreal, but losing to Ottawa in previous meetings.

- In their last five games, Winnipeg has won just twice.

Forecast
The clear favorite in this match looks like "Toronto", which has been demonstrating good hockey recently. In turn, "Winnipeg" is now not in the best shape and gives a terrible series of defeats, which was interrupted only in the last game. There is no motivation for the Jets, and without it, the team looks very depressing. I think the victory will go to the guests here.
