Toronto Maple Leafs Dominate on the Road, Set to Win Against Struggling New York Islanders

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been performing strongly on the road, winning four out of their last five games. On the other hand, the New York Islanders have struggled at home, losing three out of their last five games. Toronto boasts a potent offense, scoring at least five goals in three consecutive road games and capitalizing on over 20 percent of their power play opportunities. In contrast, the Islanders have been struggling defensively, conceding 14 goals in their last three home games, and have the worst penalty-killing record in the league. Additionally, New York's offensive production has been lackluster, scoring only 10 goals in their last four games and converting just 11 percent of their power play chances. With Toronto's solid penalty kill and recent defensive form, it is likely they will successfully curb New York's offense. I recommend betting on Toronto to win.
