### New York Rangers at Toronto Maple Leafs

### Time: 7:00PM

### Location: Scotiabanl Arena

### Broadcast/Streaming: CBC, Sportsnet One/Ontario, MSG, NHL Live

Tonight is game 75 of the Maple Leafs season, and with seven more to go the team is working its way back to full health. Both Jake Gardiner and Travis Dermott are skating again - though Jake did not join the team on the ice today - and the forwards are all ready to go.

Frederik Gauthier is back at fourth line centre tonight, playing in his 100th NHL game.

The New York Rangers are on their way to the bottom of the league, looking to rebuild while still staying relevant in a crowded sports market.

They are starting back up goalie Alexandar Georgiev after he stonewalled the Leafs in their last meeting; making 55 saves to give the Rangers a 4-1 victory.

The Maple Leafs are all around a better team than the New York Rangers. Their previous game was only a loss because Georgiev stood on his head. After a win on the “road” against the Sabres, the Leafs have come home with a brighter outlook.

The game is at 7PM tonight.

Go Leafs Go.
