Game Notes
NYI
?Thomas Greiss (10-6-2, 3.89 GAA, .886 Sv%) will likely start for the Islanders
?The Islanders played last night against Florida, losing 4-1 and being outshot 40-33
?New York is getting MVP-like seasons out of almost their entire top line. Tavares is 5th in the league in points with 57 in 51 games. Josh Bailey is actually scoring at an even higher rate with 55 points in 47 games, he recently returned from a lower-body injury. And Anders Lee is tied for 2nd in the league in goals with 27 in 51 games
?Their second line, AKA the line that Chiarelli built, is doing very well too. Mathew Barzal has 51 points in 51 games, while Jordan Eberle is on pace to score 62 points
?Scoring goals clearly isn't a problem for New York, but keeping them out is. They're dead last in GA/GP and have the 2nd worst PK% in the league. Because of that they are in a dog-fight for the final wild card spot in the East. Just 2 points separates the Flyers, Rangers, Islanders, and Hurricanes. Philly currently occupies that final spot
TOR
?Andersen (24-14-4, 2.68 GAA, .920 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Nikita Zaitsev looks like he's ready to return to the line-up. He missed the past 17 games with a broken foot. Polak is expected to be a healthy scratch with his return
?Based on the lines at practice yesterday, it seems like the road units from last week are still intact. That means Marner with Kadri, Komarov on the 4th line, and Martin in the press box. Huzzah!
