Rangers at Maple Leafs 3/23/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Rangers are on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs and that is definitely something the Rangers want to try to avoid. However, the Rangers are playing against one of the best teams in the NHL in this game here and that is going to be a challenge for the Rangers as they are so close to being eliminated. What makes it even harder for the Rangers is the fact they have lost 5 games straight and one of those was against the lost Red Wings team.

Mika Zibanejad is the player who has been able to lead the team in point scoring on the year so far with a total of 67 points. He also leads the Rangers in the goal scoring at 28 goals and assist with a total of 39 assist on the season. With the Maple Leafs they finally were able to beat the losing streak they had recently and that could be a good thing for the Maple Leafs. The problem is the last couple of losses allowed the Canadiens to pull within 8 points on the year and it allowed the Bruins to put 6 points between them and the Maple Leafs.

Mitch Marner is the player who has been able to lead the Maple Leafs in scoring overall as he was able to put in a total of 86 points on the season. He has led the Maple Leafs in assist as well with 61 assist on the season. When it comes to finding the back of the net the Maple Leafs have relied on John Tavares who has scored 41 goals on the year.
