Kenny Albert: “The children of two former Rangers are on the Maple Leafs. Max Domi and William Nylander.”

Dave Maloney: “When you put your stick around a player’s hip, you’re going to get two minutes. The Rangers hope that Pärssinen sits for two minutes.”

Kenny Albert: “If Mika scores four more, he’ll equal his goal total from 3/5/2020 against Washington.”
