Fresh off a big win over the Carolina Hurricanes the night before, the New York Rangers produced another heroic effort to start a four-game road trip in Canada on a high.
Going up against a revitalized Toronto Maple Leafs team who were starting to find their identity under new Head Coach Sheldon Keefe, the Blueshirts weathered a storm at times to gut out an impressive W.
It all started thanks to Brett Howden who got the Rangers on the board less than two minutes in, although William Nylander made it a tied game moments later as the penalty kill failed to deliver the goods.
