The Winnipeg Jets defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2, avenging an earlier loss and securing the top spot in the NHL before the holiday break. Mark Scheifele led the Jets with a three-goal, four-point performance.
TORONTO — The Winnipeg Jets had payback on their minds and top spot in the National Hockey League in their final game before the holiday break.
"They don't hand out awards at Christmas, but obviously, we're happy," said Jets centre Mark Scheifele, who enjoyed a three-goal, four-point outing. Besides defeating the Maple Leafs after what transpired in late October, Scheifele had extra motivation after being left off Canada's roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off in February."You're disappointed, but at the end of the day, you just want to play well for your group of guys," Scheifele said.
