What does John Tortorella think of his forwards?
Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports At this point, there’s been enough digging into the Columbus Blue Jackets to broadly get an idea of what they’re about, especially relative to the Leafs. This is a matchup where the teams’ strengths will go head to head, and their weaknesses will too. On the face of it, these teams have similar 5v5 results.
The Leafs have a 5v5 GF% and xGF% of 50.2% and 51.9% respectively. For the Jackets, those numbers are 50.7% and 51.7%. The teams have identical PDOs of 0.997 to boot. The way they get to these results is, of course, very different.
