The New York Islanders head north to begin their final multi-game road trip of the season Tuesday night as they face the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena.
New York arrives in Toronto riding momentum after a 3–2 win over the Calgary Flames on Saturday at UBS Arena. Simon Holmstrom scored twice and Casey Cizikas added another as the Islanders built a three-goal first-period lead. David Rittich stopped 30 of 32 shots to earn his first career win against his former team.
The Islanders continue to thrive in tight contests. Saturday’s victory marked the Isles league-leading 25th one-goal win of the season, leaving them one shy of tying the franchise record set during the 2014–15 campaign.
