PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes New York Islanders +1.5 puck line.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

• Sorokin was expected to start while Bobrovsky entered with a weaker five-game this season line.
• New York entered with the NHL's second-best goals-against rate at 2.29 per game.
• Toronto had allowed at least three goals in seven of eight games and was allowing heavy shot volume.
• Toronto was without Tavares and Tanev, weakening center and defensive depth.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Toronto's Matthews–Nylander-led attack was producing at a high level, with a special-teams advantage.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

• New York was missing Barzal and Romanov and had not earned a road win through three road decisions.
• Current even-strength expected-goals sources disagreed on the size of New York's edge.

BOTTOM LINE

Sorokin was expected to start while Bobrovsky entered with a weaker five-game this season line. The concern: Toronto's Matthews–Nylander-led attack was producing at a high level, with a special-teams advantage.
