TORONTO — The New York Islanders seemed to get a spark with the return of Adam Pelech and Kyle Palmieri against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night, but the results continued to be the same as they fell 5-2, for their fifth straight loss.

The Islanders now head to Ottawa for a duel with the Senators Wednesday night at 7 PM.

Here are your New York Islanders and NHL stories to know for today:

NYI HOCKEY NOW

The New York Islanders allowed the Toronto Maple Leafs to expolit their defense after the first period as they fell 5-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, in a game that the Islanders had control of after the first twenty minutes.

If there’s one positive that can be taken during the struggles and the injuries, it’s the fact that New York Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello has gone to the prospect well.

NATIONAL HOCKEY NOW

Boston Hockey Now: The Bruins are reportedly “getting closer” to a contract extension with Bruins forward and NHL star David Pastrnak.

Washington Hockey: Long Island native Sonny Milano is making the most of his time with the Washington Capitals. Sammi Silber tells us why signing with Washington may have been the best move of his career so far.

Florida Hockey Now: The Florida Panthers were lost in the big apple and couldn’t navigate to winners avenue and got stomped on by the New York Rangers 6-2 Monday night.

Philly Hockey Now: The Philadelphia Flyers are bound for the NHL Draft lottery instead of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. While they won’t win the Bedard Show, who will they take in the first round in Nashville come June?
