On Dec. 3, the Winnipeg Jets beat the New Jersey Devils 8-4 in what was a roller coaster game. The Jets went up 3-0 in the first 10 minutes of the game, then, the Devils scored four unanswered goals. Thankfully, the Jets returned the favour by scoring five unanswered goals. 
In back-to-back games, I&#8217;ve gone 0-for-6 on all of my bets. I was close on a few of them, but not close enough to win. Let&#8217;s see I can turn this recent betting slump around and hope Winnipeg can put together a two-game winning streak. 
<h2>What You Need to Know About the Jets </h2>
The Jets are currently on the outside of a playoff spot as they&#8217;re one point behind Nashville Predators for third place in the Central Division. Overall, this team owns an 11-8-4 record in the 2021-22 season.
Goaltender @Connor Hellebuyck will be in the starter&#8217;s crease once again for the Jets. Hellebuyck has posted an 8-6-4 record, 2.68 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage this season.
@Kyle Connor remains the team leader in scoring, with 14 goals and 25 points. On the other hand, @Andrew Copp and @Neal Pionk are tied for the lead share in assists, with 12 each.
Winnipeg&#8217;s power play hasn&#8217;t been productive thus far. Since Nov. 9, they possess the second-worst percentage (8.1%) with the man advantage, according to <a href="http://www.nhl.com/stats/teams?reportType=game&amp;dateFrom=2021-11-09&amp;dateTo=2021-12-05&amp;gameType=2&amp;filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&amp;sort=a_powerPlayPct&amp;page=0&amp;pageSize=50" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NHL.com</a>. As for their penalty kill, they&#8217;re currently ranked second last in the league, with a miserable 68.3 per-cent success rate on the season. 
<h2>What You Need to Know About the Leafs</h2>
The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the best teams in the NHL this season. The Leafs are positioned second in the Atlantic Division with a 17-6-2 record and 36 points. With a victory Sunday, they&#8217;d return to top spot in the division and the entire league as well. 
Just one night ago, the Maple Leafs fell 4-3 in a shootout to the Minnesota Wild.  
Former Jet @Michael Hutchinson will receive the start in goal for Toronto. In 2021-22, Hutchinson has made just two starts, where he&#8217;s allowed six goals on 42 shots against, leading to a 0-1-0 record. The Maple Leafs will be without @Ilya Mikheyev, @Petr Mrazek, @Joseph Woll and @Mitch Marner.
Captain @Johnathan Tavares leads Toronto in points with 25. No shock, @Auston Matthews leads the team in goals (14). @Morgan Rielly and Marner are tied in assists with 15 each.
The Maple Leafs&#8217; power play is currently ranked seventh in the league, scoring 24.6 per-cent of the time. On the other side of the coin, their penalty kill sits sixth among all 32 teams, performing to an 85.5 per-cent success rate.
