Rangers vs Maple Leafs Prediction 

Toronto has really struggled over the last few weeks and they are dealing with injuries, but they picked up a nice road win against Boston on Tuesday night. The Maple Leafs are 17-12-8 at home this year, while the Rangers are 19-16-2 on the road. New York has lost five games in a row and they have scored two goals or fewer in three of those five. Neither team is playing for very much right now, but Toronto has a little momentum and they are at home. I am going to ignore the back to back and take the Maple Leafs here.
