Cal Clutterbuck had two goals and an assist as the playoff-hopeful Islanders got all their scoring in the last two periods in a 7-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Isles
Sam Lafferty and Mitchell Marner scored for Toronto, which had won two straight. Ilya Samsonov had 22 saves.
The Islanders responded 44 seconds later as Clutterbuck intercepted a loose puck and raced up the ice before wiring a wrist shot past Samsonov's blocker to restore a two-goal lead. It was his second of the night and sixth of the season. Dobson scored an empty-netter with 6:04 left for his 13th, and Lee redirected a shot from the point for his 27th less than three minutes later to cap the four-goal period.
Sorokin kept the Islanders deficit at one goal with an incredible stick save with 7:22 left in the opening period, swatting Maple Leafs defenseman Erik Gustafsson's shot at a wide-open net out of the air with his stick.
