Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Over the course of the last two seasons, the New York Islanders and the Toronto Maple Leafs have faced off a total of five times, with the Islanders claiming victory in four of those encounters while the Maple Leafs secured a single win. The home team has proven to be dominant in this matchup, winning four out of the five games.

The Islanders have shown a strong offensive presence in these games, particularly in their 7-2 victory on March 21, 2023, where they scored seven even-strength goals. The Maple Leafs, despite their fewer wins, have demonstrated resilience, with a notable performance from Auston Matthews who scored two goals in their most recent meeting.

The most recent game between the two teams took place on January 11, 2024, where the New York Islanders edged out the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 4-3 victory in an overtime thriller. The Islanders’ success was partly due to their efficient power play, which operated at a 66.7% success rate. The game began with Kyle Palmieri scoring just 40 seconds in, and despite Auston Matthews’ two backhand goals giving the Maple Leafs a 3-1 lead in the second period, the Islanders fought back with goals from Alexander Romanov and Bo Horvat to tie the game.

New York Islanders vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Predictions

The Maple Leafs are coming off a strong performance before the All-Star break, winning three consecutive games and solidifying their position in the playoff race. With star forward Auston Matthews leading the league with 40 goals, Toronto’s offense has been firing on all cylinders. The team’s power play ranks ninth in the NHL, and their faceoff percentage is second-best, which could be crucial in tight games. However, they’ll need to tighten up defensively, as they’ve allowed the second-most shots per game in the league.

On the other side, the Islanders are looking to rebound after a disappointing stretch that saw them lose three straight. Despite their recent struggles, the Islanders have had the upper hand in recent matchups against the Maple Leafs, winning four of their last five encounters. With Noah Dobson leading the team in points and Brock Nelson as the top goal scorer, the Islanders have the firepower to challenge Toronto’s defense. The return of key defensemen Ryan Pulock and Adam Pelech could also provide a much-needed boost to their back end.

This game features a compelling matchup between two of the league’s top scorers in Matthews and Nelson. Both teams will be looking to their stars to make an impact, but it may come down to goaltending and special teams to decide the outcome. The Maple Leafs will rely on their high-scoring offense to break through the Islanders’ defense, while the Islanders will need to capitalize on their opportunities and contain Toronto’s dynamic attack to come away with a win.

New York Islanders vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Pick

The Toronto Maple Leafs enter this matchup with a strong home record and a three-game winning streak that they’re looking to extend. With Auston Matthews leading the league in goals and the team’s power play ranking ninth, the Leafs have the offensive prowess to challenge the Islanders’ defense. Despite the Islanders’ recent head-to-head success, Toronto’s current form and the advantage of playing at Scotiabank Arena, where they have secured 11 wins this season, make them the favorites in this encounter. The Islanders are on a three-game losing streak and have struggled on the road with 16 losses, which further tilts the odds in favor of the home team.

While the Islanders have historically performed well against the Maple Leafs, Toronto’s recent momentum and the Islanders’ current slump suggest a different outcome for this game. The Maple Leafs’ high-scoring offense is likely to capitalize on the Islanders’ defensive lapses, and the return of key players for the Islanders may not be enough to contain Toronto’s dynamic attack. Considering these factors, the smart money is on the Toronto Maple Leafs to continue their winning ways and secure a victory on home ice.

The Pick: Toronto Maple Leafs -160. (BetMGM)
