Coming off three straight losses, the Rangers need a bounce-back game and will look to get it in Toronto against the Leafs.
The Maple Leafs will look for their fourth straight win on Wednesday against a Rangers team that has had a tough stretch of games recently.
New York Rangers
The Rangers are coming off a third straight loss, this time a crazy 7-6 loss to the Dallas Stars, and are really in need of a win to bounce back. New York is currently 4th in the Metropolitan Division and needs to get back to its winning ways to move up in the toughest division in the NHL.
The Rangers are still 1st in the NHL in goals scored this season with 158 and have some great weapons getting things done in the offensive zone. Offense hasn’t really been the issue for the Rangers at all this year.

Left winger Chris Kreider has been a force for the Maple Leafs. He has 18 goals and 15 assists on the year. In the game against Dallas, he had a goal and an assist.
Michael Grabner has 19 goals and eight assists this season. Grabner continues to be an extremely important piece of this team and he is definitely a difference maker.
If the Rangers are going to pull out a win against the Maple Leafs, the defense must be much better than it was against a Dallas team that hasn’t been that good offensively this season.
Toronto Maple Leafs
The Maple Leafs are winners of three straight and four out of five, and continue to improve as the season goes on. With 40 games left in the season, Toronto has a great shot to make the playoffs as long as the improved play continues.
The offense continues to be one of the quickest and best in the league. With so many young forwards, Toronto has been able to implement an aggressive forecheck and utilize speed to get to the net.
Rookie Auston Matthews has really started to figure out the NHL game. He has 22 goals and 16 assists on the year. In his last five games, he’s tallied two goals and two assists for the Leafs.

James van Riemsdyk and Nazim Kadri have been explosive on offense as well. JVR has 16 goals and 20 assists this season, while Kadri has 18 goals and 11 assists.
Kadri also brings a lot of aggression and power to that forecheck and it really gives teams fits.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Toronto is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games
- The Total has gone OVER in nine of New York’s last 11 games
Free New York Rangers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs NHL Hockey Prediction:
Both teams are fantastic offensively and this should be a high-scoring game. However, the Rangers have better goaltending and slightly better defensive. I like New York to get the W on the road.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: New York ML
Offensively, New York is tough to beat. Considering the Toronto defense still needs work, I like the New York Rangers to win. The money line is a solid bet here.
