Toronto’s youth and energy will be put to the test in tonight’s matchup as the Leafs get no rest going into New York, having throttled the Islanders 5-0 at home last night. Toronto has played games on consecutive nights nine times this season and is 3-6 SU in the second game of a back-to-back. But if bettors are still planning to back the Leafs, they should know the visiting team is 5-1 SU and ATS in the last six games in this matchup.
The Rangers, on the other hand, have been fairly steady at Madison Square Garden, winning 15 of their last 20 games at home. New York sits on the outside looking in for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference behind Philadelphia and in the second half of the regular season, wins will be crucial. The good news for the Rangers is they show up when a decent team comes into their barn as New York is 6-2 SU in its last eight games at home vs teams with winning records.
The total opened at 5.5 and an OVER could be the profitable angle in this tilt. The total has gone OVER in seven of the Rangers’ last eight games and they were allowing a whopping 3.67 goals per game in January. Toronto ranks second in goals per game on the road at 3.32 per game and will be starting backup goaltender Curtis McElhinney, who has allowed eight goals in his last three starts.
