Bobby McMann's two-goal performance, including a decisive late-game strike, propelled the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night. Joseph Woll was pivotal for Toronto, making 32 saves as they secured their third win in four outings, having previously defeated the Islanders earlier this week.
The game's turning point came when Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech was penalized for tripping, allowing the Maple Leafs to capitalize on the power play, with McMann netting the winning goal just under three minutes from the final buzzer.
Scott Mayfield scored the lone goal for New York, while goalie Ilya Sorokin recorded 29 saves, but the Islanders suffered their third consecutive loss. The Islanders struggled, allowing the opening goal for the twelfth time in fourteen games, reflecting a challenging stretch with a record of 5-8-1 during this period.
