Back home at Madison Square Garden for the first time in two weeks, and fully healthy for the first time in a month, the Rangers understood fully they were in for a major challenge against the Toronto Maple Leafs Wednesday.
At the start, it looked like they might not have been up to the challenge, but enforcer Ryan Reaves scored his first two goals as a Ranger, Toronto native Ryan Strome scored the winner, and All-Star Chris Kreider added his 25th goal of the season for insurance, as the Blueshirts rallied from two goals down after the first period to fashion a come-from-behind, 6-3 victory over the Maple Leafs, giving them their third straight win.
