TORONTO (Ticker) -- Mats Sundin takes a second shot at makinghistory as the Toronto Maple Leafs host the New York Islanderson Thursday.


Sundin is one goal away from moving into sole possession offirst place on the franchise list. The captain scored his 389thgoal as a Maple Leaf against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday,tying him with Hall of Famer Darryl Sittler for the top spot.

The 17-year veteran is also just one point away from tyingSittler's franchise record for career points (916).

Sundin assisted on Toronto's only goal in Tuesday's 7-1 blowoutloss to Carolina - its worst home loss since an 8-0 thrashing atthe hands of the Ottawa on October 29, 2005.


Now the 36-year-old will take a second shot at the record aswell as try and help the Maple Leafs rebound against a team theyhave dominated lately. Toronto is 6-1-1 in the last eightmeetings between the clubs, and 15-3-1 in the last 20 meetings.

Meanwhile, New York comes into this contest having won twostraight thanks to an unlikely hero. Defenseman Bryan Berard,who was signed on Tuesday, scored the go-ahead goal in a 2-1 winover the New York Rangers on Wednesday.


Rick DiPietro, who stopped 36 shots in the win, will look toprevent Sundin from making history at his expense.
