Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto’s projected lineup for game against the New York Rangers

Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to make it four straight when they face off against the New York Rangers in an Eastern Conference showdown. Since returning from the 4 Nations hiatus, the team has won three straight, picking up a 6-3 win over the Hurricanes, a 5-2 win over the Blackhawks, and a 5-4 OT win over the Bruins in a divisional showdown on Tuesday.

With six wins in their last ten and plenty of momentum heading into tonight's game, Toronto will look to close in on first place in the divisional standings while fending off a surging Tampa Bay Lightning team that's won seven in a row and eight of their last ten.

On the flip side, New York will be heading into tonight's game after winning back-to-back, most recently picking up a 5-1 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.
