New York will brace for the second meeting between the Rangers and Islanders this week, but the latest Battle of New York isn't generating the biggest ticket prices of the week on the secondary market.
That honor goes to a game between the Maple Leafs and Bruins, who set to meet at TD Garden Saturday night. Among other top-priced games this week include a Jets-Wild showdown in Minnesota and a Predators-Blackhawks battle in Chicago.
