Winnipeg Jets' Historic Start Halted by Maple Leafs

The Winnipeg Jets have made a historic start to the 2024-25 NHL season, winning their first eight games and matching the franchise's longest winning streak, dating back to last season. This remarkable streak was highlighted by their recent 5-3 victory over the Calgary Flames, with key contributions from players like Kyle Connor and Mason Appleton. The Jets' head coach Scott Arniel has guided the team to this success, marking the best start for a coach in franchise history. However, their unbeaten run came to an end with a 6-4 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who ended their hopes of achieving a record nine consecutive wins to start a season. Despite the loss, Connor continued his strong performance, scoring a hat-trick, bringing his season total to nine goals. The Jets aim to regroup and continue their pursuit of another Central Division title as they move forward in the season.
