This is a bad spot for the Maple Leafs. Toronto hosts long-time rival Montreal on Saturday. So it's a huge look ahead game for the Maple Leafs.

The Rangers are the wrong team to take lightly on the road. New York has won 19 of 27 away contests. New York has a strong history at Toronto, too, winning eight of the last 10 times there.

The Rangers are the third-highest scoring team in the league and Toronto goalie Frederik Andersen hasn't been playing well allowing an average of 3.6 goals in his last nine games.
