Winnipeg will be playing just their 2nd game of the year. They beat Calgary in OT, with a score of 4-3 on Thursday night. Toronto is playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, coming off a split with the Ottawa Senators on the road.
Projected Starters are Connor Hellebuyck and Frederik Andersen. In 12 lifetime starts against the Jets, Andersen is 9-0-2, with a 2.84 GAA, and a .910 sv%. In 8 career starts against the Leafs, Hellebuyck is 3-3-1, with a 3.40 GAA and a .893 sv%
Patrik Laine starred in the Jets lone game, scoring two goals, including the OT winner, and a primary assist on Kyle Connor's 2nd period game tying goal.
John Tavares has led the Leafs with 5 points through the first 3 games of the year. While Wayne Simmonds continues to look for his first point as a Leaf, being the lone regular forward to not register a point thus far.
There will likely be some consideration to start Jack Campbell, given Frederik Andersen's unaspiring start to the season. Jack Campbell has played the Jets 4 times in his career, boasting a 1-2-1 record, but a strong .942 sv% and a 2.01 GAA.
The Leafs will likely be forced to use an emergency recall for Monday's game, or be forced to put Nick Robertson on IR. Either way, it appears that both Barabanov and Lehtonen will be unavailable to actived, as in either scenario, their AAV would be more than the Leafs could use. It's likely one of Travis Boyd, Adam Brooks, or Joey Anderson will be making the season debut on Monday.
