Hey there, time traveller!

At Air Canada Centre
Big picture
Eleven goals surrendered in two nights on the road and the Jets, who were tied for sixth in the Eastern Conference last week, are now 10th in a hurry, Neither of the two road games to start this four-game trip was close, an ominous sign.
Little picture
Jets’ Chris Thorburn hit the crossbar early in the game and then Toronto’s Phil Kessel followed it up with the game’s first goal five minutes in. Kessel’s deft touch proved how little room he needs to make things happen, and his 23rd goal of the season had the Leafs on their way to a second straight win after a disappointing loss in Winnipeg last Saturday.
Game-breaker
The Jets barely competed in the first period and when Tim Connolly put Toronto ahead 2-0 in the second minute of the second, this game had “long night for the visitors” written all over it.
