Article content The Maple Leafs and Jets have two games remaining against each other — one on Saturday, one at the end of the schedule — that could decide first place and maybe one protracted playoff confab. So, why not turn up the temperature now? There were certainly sore feelings on both sides following Thursday’s 5-3 Toronto win gave it a 5-3 lead in the season’s series. After getting captain Blake Wheeler back from concussion, the Jets lost checking centre Adam Lowry, who was unprepared for an Alex Galchenyuk hit. We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

Article content Nick Foligno wore his passion right on top of his head Thursday morning. The newest Maple Leaf, readying for his debut game on Toronto’s first line against the Jets, was sporting a gift from his father Mike, a 1993-issue Leaf baseball hat. Mike had saved it from his days as a Leaf, namely Toronto’s improbable, three-round, 21-game trek that spring which re-ignited a dormant hockey city. We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

What was the saying back then? ‘The Passion Returns’. I remember watching that (team) video and maybe we can bring some of that into the mix here.”

Preview: Maple Leafs play two against a recovering Canucks team Share this story Photo by Jeff Vinnick/NHLI via Getty Images Maple Leafs @ Vancouver Canucks Tuesday, April 20, 9:00 p.m. on Sportsnet The Canucks play their first game back from a layoff after nearly the entire team, the Taxi Squad and the coaching staff were infected with a variant form of COVID-19. As of Saturday, all but two Canucks players are off the NHL COVID Protocol list. The Canucks’ AHL affiliate is in Utica, New York, so unlike most of the rest of the NHL teams in Canada, they can’t recall players at will. They recalled Kole Lind on April 2, and Jack Rathbone on Friday. Rathbone won’t be available yet, and it’s not known at this time how many players are actually medically fit to play. Conditioning is going to be an issue for all of them, of course, even those who never were sick.

Nylander was back on the ice Friday after finishing a nine-day COVID protocal quarantine. Photo by Ian Kucerak /Postmedia Network Article content William Nylander didn’t want to be the one who disrupted a great season and put teammates and their families at risk. So when Nylander came in contact with a COVID-19 case, he went right to club officials, then nine days of quarantine. That lasted until Friday when he was allowed to join the Maple Leafs on their flight to Vancouver for his planned return to game action Sunday.
Article content Ben Hutton is like all the new Maple Leafs this week — stuck watching his new team on TV in instead of beside them on the bench. Hutton, Nick Foligno, Riley Nash and farmhands Stefan Noesen and Antti Suomela are sitting out their various stages of the seven-day Canadian government quarantine — no doubt thankful it was recently reduced from 14 — hoping to help out ASAP.

So many family and friends in the Brockville-Prescott-Kemptville area of the province are Toronto fans, anxious to see the big defenceman get his chance after the trade with Anaheim on Monday afternoon.
Article content Before one puck even dropped in North Division play this year, Sunday was the kind of game Sheldon Keefe said the Maple Leafs must learn to survive. The third of four on the road, coming off two big wins in the fight for first place with Winnipeg, looking flat against a struggling playoff team and using a back-up goalie. Losing points in such vital contests was why the Leafs kept struggling to find their identity and an easier path in post-season action. We apologize, but this video has failed to load.
