New York Islanders vs Toronto Maple Leafs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/17/26

The New York Islanders will be in Toronto on Tuesday night to take on the Maple Leafs. The Islanders come into this game playing some good hockey as of late. They are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games. They are hanging onto the third wildcard playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division and in such a tight playoff race, every point is crucial. The key to the success of the Islanders this season has been their defensive play and goaltending. Netminder Ilya Sorokin has been lights-out with a 2.51 GAA and .913 SVP. He also has an impressive six shutouts to go with this. As a team, the Islanders are allowing the fourth fewest goals against per game in the league, averaging 2.78 per game.

They will be going up against a Leafs team that is out of the playoff race and will be without their Captain Auston Matthews for the remainder of the season. The Islanders will be playing desperate and hungry, and I expect them to win this game. Give me the Islanders on the money line.
