Game in 10: John Tavares and William Nylander light up the Islanders with dominant second-period outburst

Your game in 10:

1. The Leafs are quite clearly a dominant home team again this season with an 18-3-4 record after this victory, but here is a fascinating stat about them at Scotiabank Arena this season: They’ve been out-scored 23-19 in the first period on home ice (wait until you hear the contrast against the second-period numbers in the next point!).

Just like the first game against the Islanders earlier this season, they were outscored 1-0 in the first period (on a late rebound goal by Anders Lee), but the bigger issue was that the entire period was poor from the Leafs in general.
