Islander - Maple Leafs Preview and can be seen here: MSG PLUS (HD), Leafs TV with a puck drop of 5:30pm MDT! :D

The Islanders try to avoid losing their seventh straight road game Tuesday night when they open a season-high six-game trek against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

New York (22-37-7) still has the league's worst record, but looked much improved during a season-high six-game homestand.

After Saturday's impressive 7-3 win over Atlantic Division-leading New Jersey, the young and rebuilding Islanders capped the homestand with a 3-2 victory over Phoenix on Sunday.

Yann Danis stopped 40 shots against the Coyotes, improving to 4-2-0 with a 1.51 goals-against average and two shutouts since Feb. 21. He was 0-3-1 with a 2.71 GAA in his previous four starts.

"At this point, we're all fighting for a spot here next year," Danis said. "We're trying to play like this every game."

New York hasn't had much luck in Toronto (26-27-13) lately, either.

The Islanders lost 4-2 there on Dec. 8 and are 2-7-0 at Air Canada Centre since the start of the 2003-04 season.

The Maple Leafs, who are 1-2-3 at home since Feb. 17, are coming off Monday's 2-1 loss at Ottawa. Toronto has lost two straight in regulation after earning at least one point in its eight previous games (6-0-2).
