Result: Leafs win 6-3

He may have allowed three goals, but Freddie Andersen should have allowed 10 on this cold night in Winnipeg. Andersen was amazing, making 45 saves on 48 shots, en-route to the 6-3 victory on the road.

After getting out to a 2-0 lead, the Jets stormed back to even the game in the second period. That second frame was wild, as both teams combined for six goals and the Leafs were up 5-3 by the time it ended.

This game also showcased the great bounce-back season from William Nylander. The 24-year-old picked up his 18th and 19th goal of the season and added an assist for a three-point night. Although defense was an issue, Andersen saved the day and showed that he’s an elite goaltender in the NHL, while the Leafs showed that they can outscore anyone.
