New York 5, Toronto 3: One Point Out/Schaefer Ties Record/Deboer

New York Islander Fan Central | 4/10/2026 02:23:00 AM |
Some struggles by Sorokin but they outshot Toronto huge, scored some goals early, and kept pushing for Peter Deboer's first win for New York. All games went New York's way in the race. Pageau got his garbage goal, then got picked behind the net for a goal for Toronto. Ritchie keeps scoring, Heineman got one. Schaefer shot it through Leafs goalie who faced 44 shots.
New York trails Flyers by one but control tie-breaker. Ottawa won and still trail them by three, they likely will be the 8th seed. It's going to take something special to beat the Senators Saturday. Both NY/Flyers play same teams (Montreal/Carolina) but NY plays Ottawa, while Flyers play Winnipeg.

New York Falls Three Behind

What was expected, just head to head games made it unavoidable. Now the games in hand for other teams have been played.

Now What For New York?

More practices, more interviews, some scoreboard watching as NY will likely continue to lose ground. Reality is forget 7th seed because Pens almost clinched it, as New York cannot catch Boston for the 7th seed. So it's third, eighth or no playoffs.
The Flyers called up Martone, and he scored a GWG, Chicago called up their prospect, and his point won a one-goal game here. New York has Victor Eklund, who's producing for Bridgeport, and was not here Monday for practice?
When they play Thursday they are in must-win territory vs Toronto, if this happens then they control some destiny vs Ottawa on Saturday. Carolina/Montreal will come here with likely nothing to play for. And then we'll see.
What will Peter Deboer do? Hard to know, did Roy's strategy hold back the scoring, likely not, were they a great defensive team? No, because forwards were not good defensively. They are overloaded with centers playing wing, have no flexibility on D with injuries.

Darche/Deboer

A lot of stock answers, liked Roy/friend for life, team needed to play better.
DeBoer is at practice, many players not attending/maintance.
New York needed Dallas permission to hire Deboer being that they are still paying him. No assistant coaching changes for rest of season.
Deboer's contract is for this season plus three more years/not four. Same term as Darche.
