The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a 3-2 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres. This is the first time since early January that they&#8217;ve owned a three-game winning streak (Dec. 19 &#8211; Jan. 4).
To be honest, goaltender @Connor Hellebuyck&#8217;s impressive performance led the way, as he posted a .946 save percentage, proving to be the difference-maker.
Captain @Blake Wheeler scored the shootout-winner with some magic hands, which led to a bit of a debate about whether or not his movement stopped during the shootout. Personally, I think the right call was made.
Watch it yourself and let us know if you think it&#8217;s good or not. (Jump to 2:27 for Wheeler&#8217;s shootout goal)

On the betting front, I was unsuccessful and went 1-for-6 on the night. Still, I&#8217;d rather this outcome than a Jets loss. Hopefully, we can watch the team win four straight against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
<h2>What You Need to Know About the Jets</h2>
Recently, the Jets have been playing pretty well and have been picking up crucial wins. Over their last 10 games, they&#8217;ve performed to a  7-3-0 record. In total, this club features a 33-25-10 record and are just two points back of the Vegas Golden Knights for the final wild-card spot.
There&#8217;s no confirmation yet, although it appears that Hellebuyck will make both starts in this back-to-back series. Thus far, he&#8217;s posted a 24-23-9, a 2.94 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage this season.
Winnipeg is likely to use the same line combinations as they did against the Sabres, so they&#8217;ll be without @Cole Perfetti (upper body), @Kyle Connor (COVID-19) and @Nate Schmidt (COVID-19).
You&#8217;ll want to watch @Pierre-Luc Dubois in this contest as he is looking for his 100th career NHL goal.
Veteran @Adam Lowry leads the Jets with a 52.98 per cent face-off percentage, @Josh Morrissey leads in average ice-time (23:35) per game and Dubois leads in power-play goals (13).
The last time the Jets and Maple Leafs met it was a wild one, Winnipeg ultimately won 6-3. In the last 10 matchups between these two clubs, the series is tied at 5-5.
<h2>What You Need to Know About the Leafs</h2>
The Maple Leafs are enjoying another successful season, as they&#8217;re entering with a 42-19-5 record and could play either the Boston Bruins or Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of this year&#8217;s playoffs.
Rookie goaltender @Erik Kallgren will start for the Maple Leafs on Thursday. In his short NHL career, he&#8217;s registered a 3-2-1 record, a 2.64 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage.
Toronto will be without @Jake Muzzin (concussion), @Jack Campbell (upper body), @Ondrej Kase (head), @Rasmus Sandin (lower body), @Petr Mrazek (groin) and @Ilya Lyubushkin (head).
All-Star @Auston Matthews leads the Leafs in goals (49) and points (85), with @Mitch Marner leading in assists (48).

Over/Under: Over 7.5 goals scored at +160.
