TORONTO — The Winnipeg Jets need to play a complete game to get some payback when the visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.The Maple Leafs defeated the Jets 4-2 on Wednesday night in Winnipeg.Before the rematch in Toronto Adidas Anthony Beauvillier Jersey , the Jets visited the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night and came back for a 2-1 win on a goal by Dustin Byfuglien at 13:15 of the third period. It was the defenseman’s 500th career point.Article continues below ...The Jets had fallen behind in the first period.Against the Maple Leafs, the Jets fell behind 3-0 before scoring twice in the third period, but John Tavares finished the scoring for the Maple Leafs to clinch the victory.“We worked hard and made a push at the end,” said Jets left winger Nikolaj Ehlers, who ended an 11-game drought without a goal on Wednesday. “But I think there is still a lot we can do better. I think the way we pushed in the third is the way we need to play for a full 60 minutes.”The loss meant the Jets (7-3-1) finished their six-game homestand with a 4-1-1 record.The Maple Leafs (7-3-0), meanwhile, had lost their two previous games, both at home, and had scored a total of one goal in those games.“You reach the 10- or 20-game mark, teams become dialed into their systems and there’s less room out there,” said Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews, who has 10 goals but none in his past four games. “But I liked our last game Adidas Scott Mayfield Jersey , we had a lot of chances. I feel myself and (linemates Patrick Marleau and Kasperi Kapanen) are getting chances.”Toronto will not have defenseman Travis Dermott after he became ill before the game in Winnipeg. He did not attend practice on Friday.The Maple Leafs are 5-0-0 on the road this season. They are 2-3-0 at home. The Jets are 5-1-1 at home and 2-2-0 on the road.“We seem to be more patient (on the road) and don’t press, we don’t get into a run-and-gun game,” Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. “I don’t know if we just try and look too cute and look too good. At the end, it’s about getting results. It’s always hard to beat a good team twice in a row. They’d be no different from us, they’ll want to respond.”Toronto center Nazem Kadri scored his first goal of the season on Wednesday.“I’ve been around long enough to try to not get frustrated, but that’s always nice finding the back of the net and contributing to help your team win,” Kadri said. “Hopefully, they come in bunches.”The Maple Leafs kept the Jets under control for most of the game on Wednesday.“Our structure was good, we didn’t give them too much time,” Kadri said. “We were able to be in the right places at the right times, especially breaking through the neutral zone. On the defensive side of things, we were able to stay above guys and not give them too much momentum to generate speed entering the offensive zone.”Defenseman Jake Gardiner and winger Tyler Ennis will both be playing in their 500th NHL game Saturday.The Jets lead the all-time series 27-26-7 overall. The teams are 12-12-5 at Scotiabank Arena.While the Jets have a decent record Adidas Dustin Tokarski Jersey , they have not looked as imposing as they became last season.“We’re not struggling,” Jets coach Paul Maurice said. “We’re not where we’re going to be in the end, but no team is. We’re all building here. We’re living the daily life in the NHL right now.”The game in Detroit was the opener of a four-game trip for the Jets that includes two games in Finland against the Florida Panthers next week. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two teams with identical records get together at Nationwide Arena on Thursday night when the Columbus Blue Jackets play host to the Minnesota Wild.The Blue Jackets (14-8-2, 30 points) are trending upward. They’ve gone 7-2-1 in their last two games and return home after a wild 7-5 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.More Wild coveragePhotos of the Week: 12/30/18 – 1/5/19Wild Breakaway: Wild start slow, finish fast in beating OttawaSpurgeon scores twice, Wild beat Senators 4-3WATCH: Wild’s Spurgeon scores pair of goals vs. OttawaSt. Cloud State’s Ryan Poehling shines at World Junior ChampionshipThe Wild (14-8-2, 30 points) have won six of the past 10 games. But in Minnesota’s most recent outing, it blew a 3-1 lead and lost 4-3 at home to the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night.The Wild players were clearly frustrated with their effort after giving up three consecutive goals when they appeared to be in good position to win.“We keep playing down to the level of competition that comes into this building,” Wild winger Marcus Foligno told reporters. “It’s getting to be embarrassing to set yourself up really good for the third. (The opponents) have no momentum, and yet we just seem like it’s a job and let teams come back in. That’s on us.“That’s a mental thing here. It’s not that we’re a bad hockey team. We’re a good hockey team. We’ve got to play great, though.”The Wild were 6-1-1 when leading after two periods before the collapse. Goaltender Devan Dubnyk couldn’t explain what happened.“I don’t know Adidas Robin Lehner Jersey ,” he repeated several times.Losing leads has become a trend. The same thing happened six days earlier when the Wild gave up a three-goal lead in a 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators at home.“We’ll have to get back to practice and try to figure out a way to be better in the third periods. Hopefully, we can bring it next game,” Wild forward Eric Fehr said after the latest loss. “We’ll have to look at the tape a little bit and see what we did and what they did to get their scoring chances. That’s a game we have to have at home, no doubt.”That loss left the Wild in third place in the Central Division. Colorado has surged past Minnesota into second place behind Nashville in the division with five straight victories.The Blue Jackets also let a lead slip away their last time out, but they were able to hold off the Red Wings and bounce back from a road loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins two nights earlier.Columbus led Detroit 3-0 after one period and 5-1 in the second period before almost frittering away what could have been a relatively stress-free win on the road.“We got up 5-1 and we think it’s point night now,” Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said. “It’s funny what happens. They forgot how to check, not forgot how to check, they thought it was going to be an easy night and there’s no easy nights.”Blue Jackets center Pierre-Luc Dubois scored early in the third period after the Red Wings had closed within one goal to make it 6-4 and defenseman Seth Jones added an empty-netter to seal the win.Blue Jackets winger Artemi Panarin ended a 12-game streak without a goal, but linemate Cam Atkinson’s franchise record-tying run of seven games with a goal ended.Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who is 7-3-0 in his last 10 games after getting off to a slow start this season, managed to pick up the victory in Detroit with 27 saves despite giving up five goals. He stopped all nine Detroit shots in the opening period.“This is a league that, if your goaltender is really good Adidas Leo Komarov Jersey , you have a really good team and they play with confidence,” Tortorella said, according to The Columbus Dispatch. “The coach is dynamite, when the goalie’s on. If the goalie’s struggling, the team is two inches tall and the coach (stinks). That’s just the way this business is.”Tortorella will coach his 1,200th NHL game on Thursday, becoming the 18th coach in league history and the fifth active coach to reach that milestone.
