Curtis McElhinney to Start Against Jets
7 years agoToronto Maple Leafs back-up goaltender Curtis McElhinney will get the start Saturday night against the Winnipeg Jets. In a match-up of two playoff bound teams, Toronto will be looking to win their second game against the Jets this season after defeating them 7-2 back in October. McElhinney will have his hands full against a Winnipeg team that scores 3.29 goals per game, which is third best in the league. Adding to that, Toronto has given up 33.9 shots per game this season, with only three teams allowing more shots per game. McElhinney played spectacularly in a three game stretch in mid-March, but hasn't played in Toronto's six games since then. His .935 save percentage this year suggests he may be up for the task, but it certainly will be one of McElhinney's tougher starts of the year.
