The beginning of the NHL season has been very difficult for Eastern Conference teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Rangers, so having a confrontation between them next Thursday generates significant expectations about their performances. In this matter, it’s relevant to note that the Toronto Maple Leafs are favorites to win according to the bookmakers’ odds.
However, even though their Tuesday victory over the Nashville Predators was motivating, the reality is that Toronto’s defense is still having problems finding a solid performance, a fact that can be confirmed when noting that Auston Matthews is the player who has blocked the highest number of shots at the start of the season. Despite this, the Maple Leafs have a very powerful offense, and it is worth noting that Nicholas Robertson, Auston Matthews, and Bobby McMann lead in shots on goal.
Meanwhile, the New York Rangers are having a disastrous performance at home, but when playing on the road, they have been able to find offensive consistency. With this in mind, players like Adam Fox, Alexis Lafreniere, and Mika Zibanejad are expected to get their names on the scoreboard sooner rather than later for the Rangers. In addition, Artemi Panarin is expected to maintain the level shown against the Oilers, as he took 5 shots on goal in that game.
