As we look ahead to the highly anticipated debut of the 2024-2025 NHL regular season, we take a look at some of the most noteworthy matchups.
Oct. 28, 2024: The Always-Electric Jets and Maple Leafs Matchup in Winnipeg
The Jets and Leafs games are always an instant classic. The rivalry between the two teams dates back to Patrik Laine's prime in Winnipeg, when the young star was duking it out with Auston Matthews for the scoring title.

You can expect a lot of blue and white to dot the stands and competing «Go Jets Go» and «Go Leafs Go» chants to break out throughout the proceedings. The Maple Leafs took last season's matchup in late January, 4-2, during a time the Jets were struggling with injuries.
The last time the Jets beat the Maple Leafs in Winnipeg was in November, 2021, when they bested them 6-3 in a feisty barn burner that came just a few hours after the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders at IG Field across town to advance to the Grey Cup.
Fans can anticipate a fairly even match up between the two Canadian rivals. Hopefully this year the Jets manage to take the series against their eastern neighbours.
