Toronto has plenty of incentive tonight as it attempts to clinch a playoff berth, and John Tavares will be making his second appearance on the road against his former team. Frederik Andersen will most likely be in goal for the Maple Leafs, and he is 35-15-6 with a 2.78 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage. He looks to redeem himself after two poor performances against Florida and Philadelphia. The Islanders are battling for position in the Eastern Conference playoff picture and still are in contention for the Metropolitan Division title. The Leafs are 35-16 their last 51 games against an opponent that scored two or fewer goals its previous game. The Islanders have lost seven of their last 10 after allowing more than two goals their previous game. Take the Maple Leafs.
