Rangers blast Leafs 6-2 for first home win in regulation since November
- On March 5, 2026, the New York Rangers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-2 at Madison Square Garden, rallying after an early goal and with Lafreniere scoring the go-ahead in the third period.
- Roster decisions left Vincent Trocheck and Sam Carrick scratched for the Rangers while Toronto again sat Oliver Ekman Larsson, Scott Laughton and Bobby McMann, with roster management cited.
- Igor Shesterkin made 29 saves to preserve the win after Maccelli scored 13 seconds in and Cuylle tied the game in the first period.
- The loss underscored trade-deadline roster choices that affected both teams' immediate lineups, with the Rangers likely heading towards a retool under GM Chris Drury as the Leafs' nine-season playoff streak risks ending.
- It was the Rangers' 19th game at Madison Square Garden since Nov. 24, and they have only won eight of 28 home games this season, with both teams playing Saturday.
