The Islanders are playing well and the Maple Leafs haven't been losing six of their last eight games.

But I see this as stop-the-pain time for Toronto. The Maple Leafs are trying to avoid a three game sweep to the Islanders. The Maple Leafs have quick revenge for a 6-5 overtime road loss to the Islanders just eight days ago when they blew two leads. Toronto is putting a major emphasis on this matchup.

The Islanders have lost 17 of their last 24 road games.
