Leafs need to break skid

The Toronto Maple Leafs have begun the back half of the season with back-to-back losses, and for their sake it better not to be a sign of what’s to come.

The Leafs are currently in fifth place in the east, but this week they have two games against the ninth place Winnipeg Jets, who are just 5 points in arrears. The Leafs also have a rematch with the Penguins Thursday. Jason Portuondo was at this morning’s Leafs practice.
