WINNIPEG - John Tavares liked how the Toronto Maple Leafs stuck up for each other and kept their cool in a physical 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday. With just under four minutes left in the second period and Toronto holding a 2-1 lead, Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey laid a hit on Leafs forward Nick Robertson. “You could hear it from before the national anthem even, tonight, you know, the battle of the Leafs and Jets chants,” Morrissey said. And theirs went in.”The Leafs finished 2-for-3 on the power play and the Jets were 0-for-3. The Leafs had a power play with three minutes remaining in the period that was notable for a hit on Mitch Marner.
