New York Rangers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction

I’m on the Maple Leafs in this one. I get the allure of backing the Rangers here but the Rangers have been a Jekyll and Hyde team this season. At home, back the Rangers as the MSG magic is back. On the road? Fade them as they can’t take that same level of play out on the road away from the Big Apple. I think Toronto takes care of business on home ice as the Maple Leafs have started to really show something so give me Toronto here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Toronto -105
