With Rick DiPietro still nursing an injury, Joey MacDonald may be showing signs of fatigue in the Islanders net. He allowed five goals on 17 shots in his 16th consecutive start on Saturday and is 1-4-0 with a 4.00 goals-against average in his past five games after going 7-3-1 with a 2.40 GAA in his previous 11 starts.

The Leafs, winners of four of 13 home games this season, have scored only six goals during their three-game losing streak, one shy of a season high.

Since losing four of five to the Leafs, the Islanders are 5-2-0 in the last seven meetings. The home team is 26-6-1 in the last 33 meetings.
