The Toronto Maple Leafs look for their second straight win on Tuesday when they host the New York Islanders at Air Canada Centre. Listen to the game on TSN Radio 1050 Toronto at 7pm et. The club dropped three in a row before ending the slump with Saturdays 4-2 win over visiting Buffalo. James van Riemsdyk scored twice to lift the Maple Leafs to a win Saturday in the back end of a home-and-home series with the Sabres. Mason Raymond posted a goal and an assist while Nikolai Kulemin also scored for Toronto. James Reimer posted 33 saves in the victory. Reimer is 4-2-1 with a 3.43 goals against average in his career against the Islanders. Fellow Toronto goaltender Jonathan Bernier has never faced the Isles. Torontos Phil Kessel will be in the lineup for tonights contest after the star winger sat out practice on Monday with a bout of the flu. Kessel is leading Toronto this season in both goals (10) and points (19). Meanwhile, Maple Leafs forward Tyler Bozak returned to practice Monday for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury on Oct. 25. Bozak is eligible to come off the injured reserve on Thursday, but its unclear if he will be able to play in Torontos game that night against Nashville. The Islanders try to win consecutive games for only the second time this season. The Islanders last won back-to-back outings on Nov. 1 and 2 against Ottawa and Boston, respectively. New York is coming off Saturdays home shootout victory over Detroit, although that win did come at a cost as goaltender Evgeni Nabokov suffered a groin injury early in the affair. Nabokov had sat out the previous three games before returning to action on Saturday against the Red Wings. His return didnt last long, however, as the 38-year-old veteran left 4:12 into the game after facing only one shot. Nabokov was placed on injured reserve on Monday and could miss a month of action or more. Kevin Poulin, who is 2-1-0 in his last three decisions, stopped 19-of-22 shots through overtime in his relief effort on Saturday. He also turned aside Detroits Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi in the shootout phase to seal the 5-4 triumph for the Isles. "He battles hard, he competes really hard," Islanders captain John Tavares said about Poulin. "Hes a confident guy and did a great job obviously in the shootout." With Nabokov on the shelf, Poulin will assume the starters role. The Islanders also recalled netminder Anders Nilsson from their American Hockey League affiliate in Bridgeport to serve in a backup role. Frans Nielsen scored the lone shootout goal on Saturday, while Tavares registered a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who once again played without winger Thomas Vanek. The Austrian forward has missed the past four games after playing in just six games with New York following a trade with Buffalo last month. Vanek, who has five goals and seven assists in 19 total games this season, will not play tonight. Saturdays win allowed New York to complete a three-game homestand with a 2-1-0 record. The club will play its next three on the road and is just 3-6-0 as the guest this season. The Isles have won three straight and four of their last six games in Toronto. New York has claimed three of four overall in this series. The Maple Leafs, however, are boasting a strong 7-2-0 mark on home ice this season and are beginning a four-game stay at the ACC tonight.

Will Tom Brady lead the New England Patriots over Andrew Luck and Indianapolis Colts? With Super Bowl berths on the line, TSNs Chris Schultz brings his 5-3 playoff record into the Conference Championship Games. Green Bay at Seattle (-7.5) Its been 17 years since an NFC team has gone to the Super Bowl in back-to-back years and Seattle just may do it. Russell Wilson has a mobility level that changes games and Aaron Rodgers is very limited with his mobility. If you cant run, how can you play? But Rodgers is smart and hes got another week to get a little better and now he knows how to manage the calf in a game situation. Manage he will. One thing about the Packers offence is the extremes. At one moment, they pound with Eddie Lacy and the next, they spread it out with Randall Cobb in the backfield. Tough to defend. The matchup in the secondary is an advantage for the Seahawks but the Packers now have more depth at receiver than they have all year. Davante Adams and Richard Rogers are much better now than back in Week 1. Contributors vs. spectators. Can Eddie Lacy outrush Marshawn Lynch? Its possible. Can Aaron Rodgers manage his injury through the game? Well, he did go 7-for-7 at one point in the second half vs. Dallas so thats very possible.dddddddddddd. Can Green Bay keep it close? Very possible. Packers Indianapolis at New England (-7) It is tough to beat the same team twice in a row in one season and even tougher to dominate them twice in a row. Back on November 16, it was an easy 42-20 win by the Patriots as Jonas Gray ran for 201 yards and had four touchdowns. Can the Patriots duplicate that? When it comes to preparation, the Colts have great film to work with as Baltimore held New England to 14 rushing yards. How did they do that? The video will tell the Colts all they need to know. Also last week, the Patriots were twice down by 14 points. On the positive side, they came back twice but on the negative side, why were they down by 14 twice? Pass protection is huge in this game. Given time, both quarterbacks can destroy a defence and both teams may have to take risks to create pass rush pressure; risk man-to-man coverage behind the blitzing linebackers. Huge coaching advantage for the Patriots. Bill Belichick will be in his fourth straight AFC Championship Game while it will be Chuck Paganos first. Belichick has 20 post-season games and three Super Bowl wins. Pagano doesnt. All logic says the Patriots roll and roll big. Thats why I like Indianapolis.
