Pick 172: Toronto Maple Leafs-Winnipeg Jets

The Jets are quite expected one of the worst teams at the start of the season. Their powerplay is atrocious, they are 0/17 so far. Penalty kill is similarly terrible, killing only 80 percent of opponents powerplays. Even in 5 on 5 play they are losing the battles, having a 0.64 ratio of goals scored to goals conceded. All in all the Jets are in for a long season and at best they can hope for a point here and there. Pavelec, their best asset at the moment will start the game on goal. He started with 3.7 GAA and 10 goals received in 3 played matches. The only win the Jets managed to squeeze out came two days ago against the Penguins 2-1 in a very even match.
Maple leafs lost the first match this season against the Avs in OT two days ago. At moments i thought the Leafs will be the clean winners of that one and at moment i thought they will lose by 5. Leafs are one of the best teams in 5/5 play, scoring twice as much as the opposing teams. Today might mark the debut of Gustaffson on goal for Toronto who will surely be motivated to impress if he is to take the number 1 spot.

Pick: Toronto(in 60 min)@2.1 (Expect)
Stake: 50

Result: LOST
