Toronto at New York

The New York Islanders are a below .500 team home or away, but this is a team that appeared headed for nowhere when they endured a 2-14 stretch over 16 games. The before and after paints a much brighter picture as the Islanders are 9-7 in those games. The Toronto Maple Leafs are 17-13-4 and appear to be the superior team here, but they aren't playing like one. Toronto is just 8-13 in their last 21 games - well below .500 and well under what the Islanders have done outside their bad stretch. They are also in a torturous spot for them as they are 23-53 in their last 76 when playing with no rest, and just 5-17 in their last 22 on the road vs. New York. Play on New York in this one.
