LGD: Canada’s finest
6 years ago
Tonight the Leafs welcome Winnipeg to Air Canada Center as both sides prepare for the playoffs. Toronto won last night against the Islanders 5-4 in an exciting game and the Jets picked up an L against Chicago on Thursday.
The Leafs passed the 100 point mark with their win last night and they will be playing for momentum and to test themselves against a fellow side who have aspirations of making a deep run at the Cup.
Both sides will be the only Canadian representatives in the playoffs.

Notes
- Curtis McElhinney will get the nod in goal tonight as he looks to continue his excellent season backing up Freddie.
- Patrik Laine has five games left to try and hit 50 goals – he needs seven.
- JVR could hit 40 goals this season if he can find the net four more times – do not bet against him with his current form.
