Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets put on one hell of a show Tuesday night.
The teams combined for nine goals, with Jake Gardiner bringing the thrilling game to an end with a snipe over the catching glove of Connor Hellebuyck.
Gardiner is now tied with former Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf for the fourth-most regular-season overtime goals by a Maple Leafs defenseman with three.
Meanwhile, in two overtime games this season, the Jets and Maple Leafs have each come away with a 5-4 win. Unfortunately, barring some incredible playoff runs, the next installment of this rivalry will have to wait until next season.
