The Islanders have struggled lately, winning just once in their last nine games. They are generating very little offense and aren't as stingy as they have traditionally been. Off an overtime road loss, the Leafs are just 5-5 lately, but they are dominant at home, going 17-3 in the Gardens this season. They have won their last 4 straight games at home, allowing just 4 goals in those wins. We've had a steady diet of unders from these two teams, not unexpected from two top 10 defenses. As poor as the Isles have been, Sorokin, today's likely starter has continued to keep the score down. Samsonov has been very strong in the net for Toronto.

The Leafs are very tough on defense, especially at home, and the two teams have a history of low scoring games when they meet. Look for the Under trend to continue.
