The New York Islanders felt they left a couple of goals on the table in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Twice they got a puck through Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen only to hit the post when they were leading 2-1. On another third-period chance, a point shot wound up behind Andersen, only to flutter an inch wide.
Those were three chances for the Islanders to break open the game, but instead, they surrendered a crucial shootout point.
