"There will be some clips that we use, both good and bad. The big thing: I think we had nine turnovers, and seven of them became scoring chances the other way. This is not a team you can do that against - or against any team, really. We didn't manage the puck very well, especially in that second period. It was back a few games, so that is something that we've talked a lot about and worked on."
"The big thing about this league: you have to use the whole zone. You can't play corner hockey and try to score. You can't sit in one area and try to have situations where you are going to make tape-to-tape, backdoor tap-in type plays. It is just the way the league is, with the way teams swarm and attack low with numbers there. You have to spread them out."
Maple Leafs must 'empty the tank' to end a difficult road trip against a surging Winnipeg Jets team during a Hockey Night in Canada national broadcast. The Jets view the matchup as high-profile and aim to secure two points while learning from a 6-5 defeat that exposed nine turnovers producing seven opponent scoring chances and poor puck management, especially in the second period. The Jets have scored 20 goals across four straight wins and credit success to using the whole zone, spreading play, mobile defense, and getting the puck to the middle rather than relying on corner-focused tactics.
