Toronto at New York

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be on the road tonight vs. the New York Rangers, and they will be seeking their first win of the young NHL season. The Rangers have been on the high road through their first five games at 4-1, which includes 2-0 at home. Toronto is one of those rare teams that played almost identical at home, or on the road a year ago, finishing .500 at home, and just one game under on the road. The Rangers will have Henrik Lundqvist behind the goal tonight, and he is 3-1 on the season. He hasn't had the same success vs. Toronto, where he is just 4-4 in his career. That is a stark contrast to Leafs’ net-minder Vesa Toskala, who has stopped the Rangers cold. Toskala has never lost behind the net to the Rangers where he is 5-0-2. The Leafs seem to have the Rangers’ number, winners of three of the four meetings a year ago, and Toskala has gotten in their heads. I like Toronto in this one as a live dog.
