It’s a Hockey Night in Canada matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Islanders in our second game of NHL predictions. Toronto is expected to give Joseph Woll the start in goal. The Maple Leafs are 5-4-1 in their previous 10 games but have taken four of their last five. Auston Matthews did return to the lineup against the Winnipeg Jets and hopes to fill the void if William Nylander is out for an extended period.
David Rittich is likely to get the start for the Islanders, who are also 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. However, the Isles have dropped two of their last three games prior to this Saturday night tilt. New York will be without Bo Horvat, who led the team in goals (21) and points (33).
Both teams are dealing with injuries, but the Leafs pick up the road win.
Prediction: Maple Leafs win 4-2.
