UNIONDALE, N.Y., Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Dwayne Roloson made 26 saves on 27 shots Wednesday, leading the New York Islanders in a 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Islanders grabbed a 1-0 lead after a scoreless first period when Trent Hunter scored his seventh goal (unassisted) midway through the second.

John Tavares' 16th goal, following assists by Blake Comeau and Andy Sutton, made it 2-0 with 12:17 left in the second and Roloson had faced only 13 shots through two periods.

He allowed only Niklas Hagman (16) to score at the 1:56 mark of the third.

Comeau would score his third goal this season (empty net) at 19:25 of the third period for the Islanders, who snapped their three-game losing streak.

Jonas Gustavsson was beaten twice on 22 shots for the Maple Leafs, who have lost four of five.

There were no power play goals on six combined chances.
