- But New York Rangers have the stronger results over recent seasons.

The analysis
Puck drop is Thursday, October 22, 2026, 7:00 p.m. ET, at Scotiabank Arena, which holds 19,800 fans. The Toronto Maple Leafs host the New York Rangers in the NHL regular season 2026-27.
Toronto sits at 5 wins, 4 losses, 2 overtime losses (5-4-2), on 2 straight wins. At home this season the Maple Leafs are 3 wins, 3 losses, 1 overtime loss (3-3-1). New York has been sharper at 7 wins, 3 losses, 1 overtime loss (7-3-1), and won its last game. On the road, the Rangers are 1 win, 3 losses, 1 overtime loss (1-3-1).
Going into this game, Toronto is 5th in the Atlantic Division, 7th in the Eastern Conference, with 12 points. Going into this game, New York is 2nd in the Metropolitan Division, 3rd in the East, with 15 points. Our feed has 3 meetings between these two clubs in the 2025-2026 season: Toronto won 2, New York won 1.
The market, read Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 8:50 a.m. ET, prices Toronto at 1.91 (-110) and New York at 1.91 (-110), the same price on both sides: the market does not separate the two teams. My read: home ice leans toward Toronto, but New York has the stronger results over recent seasons. I'll take the Toronto Maple Leafs to win. My confidence: low, the numbers pull in both directions.
After the game
WonNYR 4 – TOR 5
The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the New York Rangers 5 to 4 in regulation, and the pick on Toronto cashes at 1.91. The game went back and forth, Toronto scored two straight goals in the second period to take the lead, then New York answered and tied it at 4 apiece in the third. Toronto got the puck back and sealed the win late in the third, never fully letting go of the momentum. A result earned in the final minutes, not in comfort.
