Rangers vs Maple Leafs NHL Betting Prediction
The Rangers have done well in the last few games and also have a great away record with eight wins in 11 outings. The offense is shaping up well at the moment and their defense has been a strength for them this season.
On the other hand, the Leafs have done great at home and are more comfortable playing here. They have a slightly better offense which provides them with additional strength.
With a marginal difference between the two and home advantage in favor of the Leafs, we can expect them to cover the spread in this one, keeping it tight at the back.
