Islanders 2 Toronto 3


Updated 10:07

Overtime/Oveview

Leafs win on a rebound goal scored by Grabovski.
The Islanders played a good game and kept up with Toronto and McDonald looked good but couldnt stop everything in a game the Islanders really didnt need to win. Unfortunatly Sean Bergenhiem suffers what looks to be a groin injury



3rd Period


In another comeback game between these two teams this time it was Toronto's turn. The Leafs put pressure on McDonald and he stoped everything except one at 8:46 into the period scored by Ponikarovsky. Sean Begenhiem seem to have suffered a groin injury which would be a huge blow to the Islanders.




2nd Period

A goalless second period has just ended and Toronto's penalty kill was put to the test. Toronto had over six minutes of penalty kill in the seccond including a penelty that will run into the third. The Islanders failed to convert on the power play and Toronto failed to score when a Toronto player was on the breakaway but lost the puck off his stick. A scary moment at 14:01 when Blake ran into Joey McDonald, both players went down and were slow to come up but, everyone was ok.

1st Period

With the first period starting off slow and staying at that pace for most of it. The Islanders placed most of the pressure and kept the puck in the Toronto zone keeping them at bay and only allowing minimal scoring chances to the Leafs. Jackmen and Oreskovic got into a small scrap and that's all that really happened until 2:33 left in the period when Stempniak scored to give the Leafs a goal. 15 seconds later Kyle Okposo scored to tie the game at one. keeping the momentum going the Islanders took the lead 45 seconds later when Comeau got one past Gerber.
