How about those Maple Leafs, eh? After a back and forth game with the Montreal Canadiens last night, and emerging victorious in overtime, there was no time to celebrate with some poutine and outrage over font size. The Maple Leafs hopped on their jet and flew south to New York City, where the Rangers are at the starting point of a rebuild.

The Rangers had the night off last night, but were shut out by the Hurricanes on Friday night. They’ve been losing a lot, or winning by a single goal, since the all star break. They’re last solid win was a 5-2 victory over the Hurricanes, back on January 15th.

We have a battle of the back ups tonight as well, with Sparks in for the Leafs, and Georgiev in for the Rangers. Georgiev was also in net the [last time the Maple Leafs faced the Rangers](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-game-recap-maple-leafs-highlights-maple-leafs-new-york-rangers-marner-hat-trick/), which was a 5-3 victory that was a little slow to start.

Tonight should be a win. Should be.

After showing the NHL that the Leafs can beat their future playoff opponents, it’s time to show everyone you won’t take any opponent lightly. Day off or no day off, back to back or long gap, the Leafs need to come out hard each game. If they can start strong and stay there, the world is theirs.

Go Leafs Go!
