TORONTO — First they got a little mad, playing an up-tempo, physical style that had their opponents on the ropes. And just when it looked like they might also get even and avenge a recent loss, the Winnipeg Jets self-destructed and gift-wrapped a win for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
A 2-0 lead heading into the third period quickly turned into a 3-2 regulation defeat Saturday night at Scotiabank Arena, with a pair of Toronto goals just 26 seconds apart, coming with the clock ticking down to what appeared to be an impressive road win for the Jets.
Jake Gardiner tied it with 3:11 left to play, and then Kasperi Kapanen scored the winner with 2:45 left.
