Recent Scores
Looking at recent scores for each team in a matchup is something that you want to do when making a Maple Leafs vs Rangers bet. These two NHL teams have split the first two meetings of the season, and both have been extremely competitive games.
Toronto does appear to have a bit more momentum, as they have gone 4-1 in their last five games. New York has gone just 2-2 in their last four games, but they have been on the road a ton of late.
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. New York Rangers Analysis
The Toronto Maple Leafs record this season has been much better than expected, but this team has been dominant on both sides of the ice. Toronto is scoring 3.4 goals per game this season, and they are holding opponents to less than 2.7 goals on the opposite end.
Mitchell Marner and Auston Matthews have been carrying this team on offense, and they are a duo that is hard to stop. Marner leads the way with 99 points on the year, while Matthews has tallied 40 goals.
New York Rangers Face Fatigue on the Road
The New York Rangers schedule has had them playing several road games over the last week, and they are a team that could have some tired legs. New York is scoring 3.35 goals per game this season, but the Rangers will want to play much slower than the Maple Leafs.
The first two matchups between these teams saw plenty of defense, and that style of game tends to play right into what the Rangers want to do. Playing at home will give New York a slight advantage in this game, but that doesn’t matter much with two great teams on the ice.
The addition of Patrick Kane has paid some huge dividends to the Rangers already, but it’s going to become even bigger in the postseason. Toronto still has plenty to prove in the playoffs as well, but they have proven that they are loaded with elite talent.
