Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and the Toronto Maple Leafs are working to find their footing following a 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday. The defeat dropped Bobrovsky's early-season record to 1-3-2 with an .891 save percentage and a 3.29 goals-against average. Despite allowing three goals or more in each of his first six starts, the veteran netminder expressed patience and confidence as the team builds chemistry.
