Rangers vs Maple Leafs: Odds & Prediction

The New York Rangers are -108 while the Toronto Maple Leafs are -112 with the over/under being 6.5 goals.

New York vs Toronto should be a great game between two of the best teams in the NHL. The Maple Leafs will likely start Martin Jones again who is coming off a shutout win over the Penguins on Saturday.

Igor Shesterkin struggled against Toronto last time out, but I expect the goaltender to be much better here. This should be a back-and-forth game but the Rangers will continue their win streak here.

Prediction: Rangers 3, Maple Leafs 2.
