The first was a pretty low impact period, as after Trevor Smith opened the scoring inside the first 30 seconds, there were just 6 more chances in the frame. The Isles then took some control early in the second, outchancing Toronto 5-1 in the first 9 minutes, only to allow Toronto to get back level in the second half. During this time, the Leafs scored a powerplay goal to extend the lead, but Casey Cizikas' late marker pulled them back within one to start the third.
The third was the most open period, the two teams exchanging plenty of chances. Toronto pulled back two ahead through Raymond, then Clarkson provided further insurance, with a late Kessel goal securing victory.
This was the 3rd consecutive game in which the Leafs didn't lose ES chances, their second such streak of the season. While trading chances so much with a lead in the third period isn't ideal, the Leafs were at least able to keep pace.

A very nice night for some players who have had bad differentials lately, as Jay McClement and Nikolai Kulemin both had their best games of the season. Mason Raymond had a game-high +5, while the big line wasn't overly special, all in the negative, but still generating a decent number of chances. No really poor nights for the forwards, though Lupul and JVR were outchanced.
Carl Gunnarson was excellent, on for a game high 9 chances for. Gardiner and Rielly also were both solid,with Rielly particularly doing well in a return to an ~18 minute ES workload, which he hadn't had in a while. The Leafs' two weakest performers were Franson and Ranger, both team low -3s.

I'll admit that I didn't really notice Matt Donovan particularily for the Islanders, but he was the team's best, on for 8 chances for and 4 against. Casey Cizikas and Josh Bailey were the best of the forwards. Okposo really struggled, along with Bouchard and Tavares.
Players with nice chance numbers:
Toronto - Mason Raymond, Carl Gunnarsson, Jay McClement
NY Islanders - Casey Cizikas, Matt Donovan, Josh Bailey
Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Cody Franson, Paul Ranger
NY Islanders - Kyle Okposo, Pierre-Marc Bouchard, John Tavares
