New York Rangers
New York brings the stronger overall record into Toronto, but a depleted Rangers crease and Toronto's missing forwards complicate the side. A near pick-em moneyline and 6.5-goal total sharpen the stakes.

Injury Report
New York is without Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo in goal, making its replacement netminding a major variable. Joseph Veleno also remains sidelined. Toronto is missing John Tavares and Max Domi up front, with Dakota Joshua and Miles Wood also out. Chris Tanev is sidelined on defense, while Jake McCabe is listed day to day. These absences affect Toronto's depth and New York's ability to protect leads.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Toronto has the clearer opportunity to pressure an injury-hit New York goaltending group, particularly through Matthews and its power play. The counterweight is New York's better overall record and Toronto's missing forward depth. With both moneylines near even, goalie performance matters more than a small perceived talent gap.
3 Things to Watch
- New York replacement goaltender under pressure
- Matthews shot volume on the power play
- Toronto blue-line availability before puck drop
Betting Breakdown
New York travels to Toronto for a 7 p.m. Eastern puck drop on October 22 with a 7-3-1 record, compared with Toronto's 5-4-2 mark. The Rangers beat Anaheim 5-2 in their last outing, with Oliver Bjorkstrand scoring twice, while the Maple Leafs followed a win over San Jose with a 6-2 victory at Columbus. Their recent form differs sharply by venue: New York is just 1-3-1 away, and Toronto is 3-3-1 at home. Both clubs have meaningful injury concerns. New York is missing Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo, creating questions in goal despite its strong defensive numbers early in the season. Toronto is down several established forwards, including John Tavares and Max Domi, and has defensive availability to monitor. Moneyline prices are clustered near even, while the market total is around 6.5 goals. The central handicap is whether Toronto can translate Matthews-led pressure into goals against the Rangers' depleted crease, or whether New York's structure can control possession and restrict second chances.
New York Betting Outlook
The Rangers arrive with the stronger points percentage, and their 5-2 win over Anaheim was a timely response to setbacks against New Jersey and Columbus. Alexis Lafrenière has contributed seven points across five games, while Adam Fox remains an important facilitator from the blue line. The primary obstacle is away form: New York is 1-3-1 on the road. Injuries to Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo raise the stakes for its remaining goaltenders, especially against Toronto's scoring threats. New York can still compete through disciplined defending and transition chances, but a near-even moneyline leaves little margin for a shaky start.
Toronto Betting Outlook
Toronto has momentum after consecutive wins over San Jose and Columbus, but the broader profile remains uneven at 5-4-2. Auston Matthews scored in both games and recorded three shots on goal in each, offering a reliable focal point for the offense. The Maple Leafs' injuries require careful evaluation before backing the home side: John Tavares and Max Domi are out, while several additional depth players and defensemen have availability issues. Their 3-3-1 home record does not guarantee a venue edge. The positive matchup is the Rangers' injured goaltending group, which Toronto can test through sustained offensive-zone pressure and power-play opportunities.
