Game 79 - Winnipeg 4, Leafs 2 - Listless Toronto all but eliminated from playoff race

It seemed as this might be another result for the Leafs despite themselves; they were outchanced in the first period, but came just seconds from escaping the period with a lead. After that, though, they were thoroughly outplayed, and ended up taking a deserving defeat that will pretty much eliminate them from any playoff chance.

After a goal and a couple of early chances, Winnipeg seized control, getting six straight chances, and pulling the game level. Toronto then scored a second off a terrible giveaway, and had a few chances of their own in the last two minutes, until Winnipeg got one back at the death.

Toronto had a decent start to the second, but after a powerplay midway through the period that failed to score, Winnipeg took over, again getting six straight chances, as well as taking a 3-2 lead.

With their season on the line, the Leafs' chase in the third period was pathetic. They generated just two ES chances, while Winnipeg came up with seven. A fourth goal from Jokinen gave the Jets some insurance, but they may not have ended up needing it anyways.

A terrible performance from Toronto, outchanced 22-13 overall and 19-8 at ES. This included the 7-2 in the third period and 5-1 in the second. The ES close numbers also favoured Winnipeg, 12-6.

As usual, a hideous Corsi result from the Leafs, beaten 71-48 overall, 64-28 5-on-5, and 45-17 5-on-5 close.

Again, not a lot of positive results from the Leafs, with the top line having one of its worst performances of the season. Kessel was a -6, and Bozak -7, both on for a game-worst nine Jet chances. JVR wasn't a whole lot better, at -4, while Kulemin was -5, and not on for a Leaf chance, and Troy Bodie -3. The best of the forwrads, and the only one not in the negative was Mason Raymond, even and on for 6 Leaf chances, a team-best.

Cody Franson was the only positive Leaf on the night, +1 in 16 ES minutes. In fact, only one other defseman even managed to be better than -3, with Rielly at -2 in just 10 ES minutes. Carl Gunnarsson had the worst of it, -6 and not on for a Leaf chance. Tim Gleason and Dion Phaneuf were also poor, both -4.

An excellent game from Trouba, an impressive +10. Wheeler and Jokinen were the best forwards, +7 without facing a chance against. Stuart was also +7, while there were actually four Jets in the negative, led by Halischuk and Setoguchi, both -2.

Players with nice chance numbers:
Toronto - Cody Franson, Mason Raymond
Winnipeg - Jacob Trouba, Blake Wheeler, Olli Jokinen

Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Tyler Bozak, Carl Gunnarsson, Phil Kessel
Winnipeg - Matt Halischuk, Devin Setoguchi, Paul Postma
