Rangers leafs

The Rangers are looking to build on their blowout win against Florida, but it’s going to need to happen in Toronto. The Leafs are good, very good. This is a team that can score up and down the lineup and are a lot better on defense and in net than their social media might make you think. The Rangers have a tough one here.

A nice story is Will Cuylle making his NHL debut tonight in his hometown. He was called up to play tonight, and Vitali Kravtsov will, for some reason, be the healthy scratch. It will be nice to see Cuylle in action, but there were better options to scratch than Kravtsov. Regardless, the Rangers top nine looked good at MSG, and hopefully will continue to look good against a much better team.
