The Penguins will face the worst team in the NHL tonight, the Islanders, but that doesn't mean it is an easy win. The Pens lost to the Islanders in a shootout not all that long ago. The Pens need to play better and play with the same system they would use against any team. I expect to see that tonight. After all, Bylsma is all about being "aggressive."
The Islanders have been without their number one goaltender, Dipietro, for most of the season. Their backups have not fared all that well, except against the Pens. The Pens will need to create traffic and get to the net tonight. The Pens need to come out strong and build a good game and hopefully a lead.
Crosby left practice early, it is believed due to a groin injury, but he is "probable" for tonight's game.
Kris Letang will be back in the lineup tonight.
Marc Andre Fleury will be in net tonight, despite letting 5 goals on 20 shots in his last appearance and being pulled.
