Can the Leafs not allow Avery to change game plan?

With injuries to the New York Rangers, look for the team to play a tighter defensive road game.  For the Leafs to come away with two points tonight, the game plane does not change much from the previous match Friday.  See the post titled "Do the Rangers have something to prove against the Leafs?".
The Rangers are still an offensive threat without Drury and Gaborick.  Sean Avery has shown he can be a very effective at intimidating and creating scoring chances every time he is on the ice.  Avery is very good at being the focus of the opposite team such that his line-mates fly under the radar and are allowed to be more effective.  The Rangers are a fast team and the defensemen are offensive minded.  For the Leafs to be successful, they need to move the play behind the net and along the boards in the offensive zone and create plays down low.  When the Ranger defenders are outnumbered down low, they tend to turn over the puck and give up quality scoring chances.  The Rangers saving grace for their defensive woes is Henrik Lundqvist, who regularly makes spectacular saves to keep his team close and even steal games.  The hallmark for the Leafs defensive success has been the number of blocked shots, timely saves and limited turn over of the puck.  If the Leafs stay the course on defense and not force the offense, the outcome will be favorable once again.
