Maple Leafs beat the Islanders 2-1 to rebound from opening loss
TORONTO (AP) --- Easton Cowan had a goal and an assist in the first period and
the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the New York Islanders 2-1 on Wednesday night for
their first victory under coach Jim Hiller.
The Maple Leafs rebounded from a 3-2 home loss to Montreal in their opener
Tuesday night, spoiling the Islanders' first game of the season.
Colton Sissons also scored for Toronto, and Anthony Stolarz made 26 saves.
Emil Heineman scored in the third period for New York. Ilya Sorokin stopped 24
shots.
Sissons redirected his first goal for Toronto at 7:14 of the first period off
Nick Paul's setup. Cowan then shoveled home a power-play rebound with 8:05 left
in the period.
Reunited with fellow netminder Sergei Bobrovsky after winning the Stanley Cup
together with Florida in 2024, Stolarz was perfect until Heineman scored
short-handed with 5:51 left.
Up next
Islanders: Host New Jersey on Saturday night.
Maple Leafs: Host Ottawa on Saturday night.
