Bobby McMann showcased his scoring prowess with two goals as the Toronto Maple Leafs secured a narrow 2-1 victory against the New York Islanders. McMann's performance marked his sixth career game with two goals, bringing his season total to 12. His second goal, scored on the power play, proved crucial with less than three minutes left on the clock.
McMann's linemates, Max Domi and Nick Robertson, contributed to the success of the third line, which has been effective since its formation in December. Coach Craig Berube praised their energy and teamwork, highlighting McMann's impactful play.
Despite McMann's success, the game also saw the end of point streaks for stars John Tavares and Mitch Marner. Goalie Joseph Woll made 32 saves, ensuring the victory and maintaining the Leafs' lead in the Atlantic Division.
