    Jets to face Leafs in all-Canadian showdown on Monday.

    The 8-0-0 Winnipeg Jets will face off against the 4-4-1 Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night from Canada Life Centre. 

    The Leafs will make their lone appearance to Winnipeg on Monday for what the Jets are hoping to be the first sellout of the season in downtown Winnipeg. 

    Always an intriguing and popular affair, Auston Matthews' Maple Leafs are hoping to shake their .500 start, but will need to be nearly perfect to beat a team that has been perfect so far this season.

    The Jets will use the same lineup they have rolled with over recent games, with the lone change coming in goal, as Eric Comrie will sit this one out after picking up his second win of the season in Calgary, and Connor Hellebuyck will make his seventh start of the year. 

    The game will be aired solely on Amazon Prime on Monday meaning those without a subscription to the service will be unable to watch the game on the regular TSN or Sportsnet television broadcast services. Fans can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, which would grant viewing access.
