The Toronto Maple Leafs fell 3-1 to the New York Islanders on Tuesday 9th at Scotiabank

Arena.

New York jumped ahead with two powerplay goals in the first period, then locked it down

with strong defense to seal the win.

The Leafs controlled some offensive zone time and pushed back, but most of their shots

stayed on the outside with no real net front chaos.

Stephen Lorenz broke a long goal drought in the second period with a sharp wrist shot

giving fans a brief spark.

Gold tender Anthony Wool kept things respectable, but the team hung him out to dry too often.

Since the Olympic break, he's 1 in 5 with 1 tie and an 893 save percentage playing

solid without enough support up front.

Off the ice, Toronto signed undrafted defenseman Vinny Borhazy to a 2-year entry level contract.

The 5-foot aid right shot from Northeastern University moves the puck well and shows

smarts adding to their blue line depth project.

Special teams made the difference, with the islanders going 2 for 6 on the powerplay while

Toronto came up empty.

The Leafs host the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday 9th.
