PS2 Preview on MapleLeafs.com - 2-1 Maple Leafs, Player of the Game: Alex Steen

MapleLeafsBlog.com Prediction - 3-2 Maple Leafs, Player of the Game: Andrew Raycroft

The defense of the Leafs will have another strong game. Hal Gill will be all over Jaromir Jagr like a fat kid on a Smartie, keeping the room Jagr needs to make a difference away from him. The last time these teams hooked up, Jagr was ineffective due to strong play by Gill. The Rangers have a lot of other firepower though, and it will be up to Andrew Raycroft to hold the fort for the 2 points.
