The scoreline and result from Tuesday night’s game was very similar to the Leafs trip to New York earlier in the season, as they exploded with four goals in the second period, and held on for the win.
However, in this game, Toronto were much more convincing in terms of even strength chances, as they dominated that second period to earn their comfortable lead. The third period was a little concerning; you’d expect the Islanders to dominate the chances, given the score, but you’d hope the Leafs would be able to do better on the defensive end. Still, this was a great game from Toronto, against a team that had been impressive up to this point in the year.

The ES and overall numbers look worse because of the third period, but at ES close, the Leafs managed to outchance the Isles, especially in that excellent second period.

Another strong game from the third line, with Santorelli and Komarov among the best players in chances. Winnik also had another strong game, while Clarkson’s numbers aren’t quite as good, as he missed out on a couple of the third line’s offensive shifts. The top line was deadly offensively, and were able to hold their own in chances. After a rough series against the Wings, Kadri managed to get back to even, an important improvement after getting beaten out in those two games.
Seven defencemen made the pairings somewhat more fluid than we’ve seen in recent games; a big beneficiary was Rielly, who had the best differential on the back end. He saw his ice time scaled back a lot from the games against Detroit, and had a strong performance. Phaneuf and Franson were again solid, and Robidas had his best game as a Leaf. Gardiner had decent numbers, but got fairly soft ice time, as he was the lone defenceman above 40% Ozone starts, finishing at 50%. Stuart Percy, on the other hand, had 0% OZone starts, but still ended up with decent chance numbers while the score was close. Given how little Carlyle has used his fourth line this year, the seven defenceman strategy might not be a bad approach. Certainly it seemed to give more benefit than the handful of shifts Carlyle has on occasion left the fourth line with.

Winnik moves up to the top spot, while Komarov has been extremely solid and is now at the 50% mark at ES close. Those two, along with Santorelli, have been excellent additions.
