Islanders look to continue their domination over the Maple Leafs in first game of back-to-back series

Having alternated wins and losses for the last five games, the New York Islanders wrap up a quick two-game road trip on Tuesday afternoon as they face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs for the first of two meetings between the teams in the next three days. Toronto has lost three of their last four games as they have hit the ice without their captain Auston Matthews who has been sidelined with an upper body injury and despite practicing with the team on Monday, is expected to miss his fifth consecutive game. The Islanders have won five straight games in this series including three of the last four in Toronto.

Leafs winger William Nylander ranks second in the NHL with his team leading 23 goals despite being held without a goal in three consecutive games, his longest scoreless streak of the season. Nylander, a first round selection by Toronto in the 2014 NHL Draft, has scored 40 goals each of his last two seasons and is on pace for his fourth consecutive 80-point campaign. Last season, Nylander recorded a career high 98 points with 58 assists.

New York has struggled to find consistency on offense this season scoring 2.68 goals per game as its power play unit, ranked last in the league, is converting on just 11.5% of chances with the man advantage scoring four power play goals in their last 20 games.

The Islanders won the first meeting of the season 10 days ago 6-3 behind a three-goal third period with center Bo Horvat tallying a goal and a pair of assists.
