Rising Islanders return home to tangle with Maple Leafs

The New York Islanders will return home Tuesday night in a sturdier playoff position than the last time they played at UBS Arena on March 11 -- and focused on ensuring the home schedule continues beyond the end of the regular season.

The Islanders will look to solidify their standing in the Eastern Conference wild-card race Tuesday night, when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs in Elmont, N.Y., in the final meeting of the regular season between the clubs.

Both teams have been off since earning road wins Saturday, when the Islanders closed out a productive trip by beating the San Jose Sharks 4-1 and the Maple Leafs outlasted the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in a marathon shootout.
