Jets Dominate Toronto Maple Leafs in 5-2 Win - Winnipeg Jets Game Reaction (Winnipeg Jets News)

The high-flying Maple Leafs had outshot the Jets by a combined 77-50 and held a 142-83 edge in attempts on goal through the first two meetings of their three-game set against reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck _ largely the reason the visitors had secured three of a possible four points earlier in the week. The rubber match was an entirely different story. Adam Lowry scored the winner in the third period and added an assist as Winnipeg stifled Toronto's attack in a grinding 5-2 victory over the North Division leaders. Mark Scheifele and Mason Appleton, also with a goal and an assist each, Nikolaj Ehlers and Paul Stastny provided the rest of the offence for Winnipeg, which now sits just four points back of the Leafs in the standings with two games in hand. Laurent Brossoit, who started with Hellebuyck getting a well-earned rest, stopped 20 shots.
