The Toronto Maple Leafs played a near perfect game against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night, winning 3-1 at home.
This game reminded me a lot of Game 2 of the Qualifying Series against Columbus. From start to finish, it felt like the Toronto Maple Leafs dominated possession and the game never seemed in jeopardy. Although Winnipeg had a few scoring chances, Andersen was flawless and the Leafs could’ve won this game by a lot more than two.
