From markhmasters: Tavares to Islanders fans: ‘I gave it everything I had.’ MORE:
TSN Toronto reporter Mark Masters checks in daily with news and notes on the Maple Leafs, who practised at MasterCard Centre on Tuesday.
On the ice, Tavares delivered as advertised with the fifth-most goals in the NHL during his nine-season run while twice being nominated for the Hart Trophy. However, the Islanders made the playoffs just three times winning only one series in that stretch. Matched against Buffalo’s top line last night, Tavares and linemates Mitch Marner and Zach Hyman struggled to contain Jack Eichel.
"I don’t know for sure," said Babcock when asked if Gardiner will be ready to play."We’ve talked about this for a bit now and so obviously it’s lingering. If you watch Jake’s game, he hasn't been as active as he normally is, skating like he normally can so we need him back. I don't know what that means tomorrow. We got have a lot of people in that back room that will get that figured out and let me know.
"They wanted me to take it easy a little bit," Andersen said."Trying to preserve some energy. It’s been a few games in a row where we’ve played some tough games."
