Because of injuries to Valtteri Filppula and Tanner Fritz, Komarov has been playing in the middle of the Islanders’ third line. Tavares’ return, Part 2John Tavares’ first game against the Islanders on Feb. 28 went terribly, as the Leafs couldn’t get past a nasty crowd for No. Each brings levels of speed and tenacity, and one would presume that a game against a hard-working group such as the Islanders would help make them playoff-ready.
