Rangers vs. Toronto Preview: Avery's return

Tonight the New York Rangers (18-15-4) visit the Toronto Maple Leafs (15-15-8). The Rangers had been 1-3-2 in their past six games before a 4-2 win against Southeast-leading Carolina on Wednesday. After completing their longest road trip in nearly a decade, the Maple Leafs take the ice at the Air Canada Centre for the first time since Dec. 10. Toronto went 2-3-2 on a franchise record high-tying seven game swing - its longest since January 1999. Tonight's game also marks Sean Avery's first return to Toronto since he was accused of poking fun at Jason Blake's battle with cancer. For a full preview go to Yahoo! Sports.

...obviously, the storyline tonight is Avery. So instead of going into it, I'll just give you a run down of all the newspaper articles: The New York Journal, New York Post, Slam Sports, and the Toronto Star.

...should be an intense game tonight. Can't wait.
