Jack Campbell made 27 saves and the Toronto Maple Leafs set franchise records for victories and points, beating the New York Islanders 4-2 on Sunday night without NHL goals leader Auston Matthews.
William Nylander, Mitch Marner, Pierre Engvall and David Kampf scored to help Toronto improve to 50-20-6 and reach 106 points.
“We’ve got a great group in here,” Campbell said after the record-setting win. “Our coach (Sheldon Keefe ) has done a great job leading the way, and I think all the boys are really growing together.”
The Maple Leafs also eliminated the Islanders from playoff contention, with Washington wrapping up a spot in the postseason field.
Matthews sat out to nurse an undisclosed minor injury. He has 58 goals this season, four more than Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl.
