Horvat leads Islanders past Maple Leafs

Bo Horvat scored the game-winning goal and added an assist to lead the New York Islanders to a 4-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night in Toronto. Anthony Duclair opened the scoring for New York, while Simon Holmstrom sealed the win with two goals, including an empty-netter. Goaltender Ilya Sorokin stopped 28 shots to help the Islanders improve to 4-3-1 on the season.

Colton Sissons scored the lone goal for Toronto, which has now lost three consecutive games and four of its last five. Sergei Bobrovsky made 16 saves for the Maple Leafs in the defeat. Injuries also impacted both rosters, as Islanders winger Matias Maccelli exited early with a lower-body injury, while Toronto played without veteran centre John Tavares, who is sidelined week-to-week.
