The Toronto Maple Leafs began their three-game homestand with a win and look to follow suit on Wednesday as they host the Minnesota Wild. Toronto received a scare from Vegas on Monday, when it watched a 3-1 lead disappear before emerging victorious in a shootout.

The New York Rangers have battled back to the .500 mark after a discouraging start to the season and look to extend their winning streak to five while continuing to dominate the visiting Boston Bruins on Wednesday night. The Rangers own points in eight of their last 10 games (6-2-2) after rallying for a 5-3 victory over Columbus on Monday and have beaten the Bruins five straight times, allowing only eight goals in the process.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have cooled off slightly after a strong start and face a serious challenge this week when they begin a three-game west coast trip against the surging San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night. The Lightning, who also play Los Angeles and Anaheim on the trip, have dropped two of their last four games and avoided a third defeat during that stretch by outlasting Columbus 5-4 in a shootout Saturday.
