Players to target: Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Zach Hyman

The top line for the Toronto Maple Leafs draws a nice road matchup against the New York Islanders checking line, a group that allows the most chances and goals in the entire league (3.74 goals per game yielded at home). The third line allows more than 38 Scoring Chances For per 60 minutes and almost 14 High-Danger Chances per 60. There could also be some power play possibilities as the Islanders are among the league's worst at home (74.1%).

This Maple Leafs line scored only once on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers, but the Islanders are not likely to match up the Mathew Barzal line against the Matthews trio. New York may try to mix their bottom six to go up against the Toronto top line, and that is something to watch for. The Islanders' Barzal line was more productive than the John Tavares line against Toronto.

The expected goals for this game is set at an over of 6.5, so there should be a good amount of action in tonight's tilt.
