In Winnipeg, John Tavares led the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 6-4 win against the Jets, bringing an end to their unbeaten streak at the start of the season.

William Nylander added a goal and two assists, with Matthew Knies and Morgan Rielly also scoring for Toronto. The team had been trying to recover from a three-game losing streak. Max Pacioretty contributed three assists, while Anthony Stolarz made 19 saves.

Kyle Connor achieved a hat trick and an assist for Winnipeg, which extended his point streak to nine games and set a new franchise record. Mark Scheifele contributed a goal and an assist, and Connor Hellebuyck made 30 saves.
