TORONTO — The New York Islanders’ struggles continue.

Michael Hutchinson stopped 33 shots Saturday night for his first shutout in nearly a year, and the Maple Leafs beat the Islanders, 3-0, who have now lost five of their past seven (2-4-1).

Pierre Engvall, Auston Matthews and Zach Hyman scored for the Maple Leafs, who are 9-0-1 during their 10-game point streak.

Semyon Varlamov had 20 saves for the Islanders.

Starting goalie Frederik Andersen has been the backbone of Toronto’s streak, with a 6-0-1 record and .909 save percentage, but Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe opted to start Hutchinson instead. The backup delivered with his first shutout since last Jan. 5 against Vancouver.

“Are you frustrated? You are a little because you know you played a solid game,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said. “If you bury a couple of those chances you’re leaving here with a point or a victory.”

It was Hutchinson’s third-straight win, following a 4-1 victory over Detroit on Dec. 21 and a 5-4 overtime triumph at New Jersey on Dec. 27, both part of Toronto’s point streak.

William Nylander brought the home crowd to their feet with a breakaway on Varlamov 4:15 into the game. Nylander looked like he had the Islanders’ goalie beat but flipped the puck up too high, allowing Varlamov to knock it away from the net.

Hutchinson stepped up in the second, facing 16 shots in the period but keeping the Islanders off the scoreboard. He made a highlight-reel glove save on Josh Bailey in the ninth minute of play, dropping into the butterfly but snagging the puck out of the air to keep the game scoreless.
