Islanders dim Leafs playoff hopes

The Islanders dealt the Leafs a fairly significant setback last night, beating them 4-3 in overtime on a wicked shot by defenseman Radek Martinek. The Leafs, while walking away with a point, didn’t even deserve that. They were clearly outplayed by a younger, more aggressive team, as Leafs goalie James Reimer faced 40 shots in the loss. Aside from a brief period towards the end of the third period, the Leafs weren’t able to control the play.
