The first game in the NHL that will take place next Friday night corresponds to the clash between New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs, teams that have had a very nice performance after the Nations Face-Off. However, the pressure will be very high on the Rangers side after Columbus Blue Jackets’ victory over Detroit that increased the gap between them to 6 points.
In this regard, it must be noted that the two key players for New York Rangers have been Vincent Trocheck and Artemi Panarim, who are the ones with the most minutes on the ice in average per game. In addition, they’ve shot more than 300 times on target in total, but only 40 of them were goals – numbers that reflect a concerning lack of effectiveness that could leave them out of the playoffs by the end of the regular season.
Meanwhile, Toronto Maple Leafs know exactly that this is a must-win game after Florida Panthers’ victory that took them down from the top spot of the Atlantic Division. With that in mind, it cannot be ignored that this will be their third consecutive away game, so their offensive effectiveness could dramatically drop as playing at the Madison Square Garden isn’t an easy task for any of the teams in the league.
