MIKE CASSESE

Regular season games don't often linger in the memory, but last night's midweek tilt between the Leafs and Jets had some pretty entertaining moments that made it one to remember: Joffrey Lupul destroying the net cam after a great pass from Phil Kessel; Jets 18-year-old rookie Mark Scheifele scoring his first NHL goal; Alex Burmistrov's flash of brilliance as he made Luke Schenn look silly; Kessel and captain Dion Phaneuf's awkward flying man hug after the Leafs tied the game and rookie Matt Frattin winning the game for the Leafs in a shootout.

The blue and white now take the show on the road, opening a four-game trip in Boston against the defending Stanley Cup champions (7 p.m., TSN). Apparently Nazem Kadri has been called back up and will be in the lineup against the Bruins.
