The Maple Leafs should be motivated for this matchup after the Islanders embarrased them and prideful John Tavares, 6-1, at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Feb. 28. Backup Garret Sparks was in goal for Toronto in that game. Frederick Andersen is expected to start in net for the Maple Leafs in this rematch.

Toronto catches the Islanders in a possible letdown spot. New York clinched a playoff spot for the first time in three season after beating the Sabres, 5-1, on Saturday.
