Maple Leafs Vs. Rangers Preview: Start Time, TV Coverage And More

The New York Rangers return home to a renovated MSG as they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.

The New York Rangers return home to Madison Square Garden on Thursday night after an extensive road trip to open the season. The road trip was a gift and a curse -- the long time away from home was needed in order for the renovations at Madison Square Garden to be completed, but opening the season with seven games on the road is a grind. New York finished the stretch, which included a game in Europe, with a 3-2-2 record.

Awaiting the Rangers in their return home is the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs opened the season with three-straight wins before alternating wins and losses over the last four games. Toronto's last two wins have come in overtime and in a shootout over the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens respectively.

Here’s the information for Thursday night’s matchup.

Game Time: 7:00 p.m. ET
TV Coverage: TSN and MSG
