Maple Leafs beat Islanders to set franchise record for wins in a season with 50

William Nylander and Mitchell Marner each scored as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the New York Islanders 4-2 without Auston Matthews on Sunday night.

The Toronto win sets a franchise record for both wins (50) and points (106) in a season.

Pierre Engvall also had a goal for Toronto (50-20-6), while Jack Campbell made 28 saves to pick up the win.

Anthony Beauvillier scored the first goal of the game when he beat Campbell on the power play in the first period. Josh Bailey also was credited with a goal for the Islanders (35-36-9), even though the goal was directed into the Toronto net by Leafs forward Alex Kerfoot.

The Leafs took a few minutes to get their footing as head coach Sheldon Keefe tried some new line combinations as the team begins to gear up for the post-season.

The Islanders opened the scoring partway through the first period, as Beauvillier scored his 12th goal of the season with the man advantage. The Leafs were able to match just three minutes later, however, as Marner stayed hot with his 34th goal of the season, and his 26th in his last 40 games. The Leafs winger potted a rebound off a sharp-angled Mark Giordano shot to tie the game at just three minutes and change after Beauvillier opened the scoring.

The second period got off to an inauspicious start for Toronto as Alex Kerfoot put the puck into his own net just 31 seconds after the middle frame got underway.
