Sitting in the penalty box for the second time, Alexander Burmistrov worried that he had cost the Winnipeg Jets the game. He hoped hed have the chance to make up for his mistake Winnipeg Jets Custom Jersey. Eight seconds after he stepped back onto the ice, Burmistrov did just that, scoring the tiebreaking goal late in the third period as the Jets beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 Wednesday night. PICK ME A WINNER<noscript> Connor McDavid is supposed to be the next Sidney Crosby . But before we compare the latest No. 1 overall pick to Gretzky, let see how the last decade of top overall picks have fared so far. After all, for every Sidney Crosby there is a Nail Yakupov. Thats a perfect example of the dog house to the penthouse https://www.jetsuniform.com/Jets_Custom_Jersey-4, coach Paul Maurice said. That is classic. Those are tough penalties to take. Its a big goal for him because hes wanted to produce.

A defensive miscue by the Leafs allowed the Jets to get on the board 3:41 in as a wide-open Perreault found Byfuglien, who drove the net and scored his third goal of the season. Byfuglien was playing after being cleared by the NHL earlier in the day following a hearing for a hit on Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher in Sundays loss. Toronto tied the score on the power play at 8:22 when a shot attempt by Tyler Bozak deflected off Jets defender Mark Stuarts stick and right to Parenteau at the side of the net. The Jets took the lead back 37 seconds later. With the Leafs unable to get the puck in their own zone, Winnipeg played tic-tac-toe as Scheifele went top shelf over Reimer. The lead lasted until 7:43 left in the second period when, on a delayed penalty, Roman Polak carried the puck to the crease and sent a centering pass in front that banked in off Komarovs skate. Winnipeg clamped down after that, and Pavelec sensed his team was better-prepared than on Sunday. I think we were ready to play from the start, Pavelec said. I think the effort was way better, and I think we deserve two points.

Maurice felt Burmistrov deserved a goal the way he had been excelling in a more defensive role since returning to the Jets after a year in Russias Kontinental Hockey League. Burmistrovs confidence had sagged early in this season, and he had perhaps found a new low in the final minutes hoping his teammates could kill off his penalty. The relief was clear on his face when he scored off a give-and-go with Wheeler with 2:05 left. Oh, I cant even explain how big it is for me, Burmistrov said. Its been tough for me since I came back, learning this game back. Just a great feeling right now, we win the game and we scored that big goal. Little added his empty-netter with 26 seconds left. Got to give them credit, they were coming, but we had our looks, we had our power plays, Toronto center Nazem Kadri said. It was a 2-2 game and then bad break, guy coming out of the box, he gets it right on his tape, thats a tough one to swallow. Notes: The Jets placed C Andrew Copp on injured reserve with an upper-body injury and recalled C Patrice Cormier, who was scratched. G Antoine Bibeau backed up Reimer as Jonathan Bernier is out with a lower-body injury. Canadian speedskaters Marianne St-Gelais, Patrick Duffy and Charles Hamelin were in attendance to promote an upcoming World Cup event in Toronto.
