Battle for top spot
The battle for first place in the NHL's Atlantic Division heats up tonight as the top two clubs are back on the ice. First-place Boston, which has 60 points, is home to the Maple Leafs, while second-place Tampa Bay, which has 58 points, is in New York to face the Rangers. Toronto, by the way, is just a point out of the eighth and final playoff berth in the East.
