Rangers vs. Maple Leafs prediction: NHL odds, picks, best bets for Tuesday
Any skepticism channeled toward the Rangers from dropping three of four contests last week was erased by back-to-back assertive victories.
After rolling over the lowly Ducks, the Blueshirts snagged an overtime decision in a key meeting with Boston, where Igor Shesterkin reclaimed his confidence by stopping 21 of 22 shots.
The former Vezina Trophy winner was reeling from three consecutive losses of four-goal deficits one of which was a disastrous 7-3 home defeat to the Maple Leafs.
A sloppy first period featuring defensive lapses and bad bounces put the Rangers behind 4-1 before regripping the steering wheel in the second period.
The Rangers schedule grants it an expeditious redemption opportunity with Tuesdays rematch in Toronto.
But the climb was too steep against Torontos high-octane game.
Rangers vs. Maple Leafs prediction
(7 p.m. ET.)
The Leafs just dismantled the Penguins, 7-0, and are scoring goals at the second-highest rate in hockey.
Torontos core lineup has been as good as ever with William Nylander potting nearly a point-and-a-half per night and Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews right behind him.
It takes fighting fire with fire to oust the Leafs this year, as opponents have needed to score a minimum of three goals in the 12 total regulation and overtime losses.

On the reverse side, the Rangers have allowed no more than one goal a league-best 12 times this season.

The Leafs have been riddled with illnesses as Matthews was the latest to catch the flu bug, in addition to TJ Brodie and a handful of other players.
It didnt prove to hinder them against Pittsburgh, but the Rangers have plenty of ammunition to take advantage of a juggling lineup and prove the last meeting was a fluke.
