Rangers, Maple Leafs tangle with eyes toward playoffs

Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers meet in regular-season finale with little on the line

The New York Rangers and visiting Toronto Maple Leafs have little at stake on Thursday when they meet in their respective regular-season finales at Madison Square Garden.

Toronto, in fact, sent a message of sorts to Tampa Bay after its 4-3 victory extended the club’s winning streak to three games. Tuesday’s outcome was achieved despite the Maple Leafs scratching star forwards Auston Matthews and Mitchell Marner as well as defenceman Mark Giordano and goaltender Ilya Samsonov.
