Pens vs. Islanders tonight.

After a few wins at home, the Pens are on the road again in New York for tonight's game against the New York Islanders.
Coming off of victories over the Montreal Canadiens and the New Jersey Devils, the Pens are looking to get the next win on the road tonight.
The Pens also could have Evgeni Malkin in the lineup tonight, he is a game time decision for tonight's game. It would be wonderful if Malkin were ready to play tonight. Though, we have been doing pretty well without the forward and also without Captain Sidney Crosby. The Pens have maintained a great Penalty-kill that began last year and have been receiving some goal-scoring from James Neal and Jordan Staal had a two-goal effort Saturday night against the Devils. The Pens are playing strong without some of our key players and I can not wait for the entire team to be healthy.

Tonight's game against the Islanders will probably not look like the debacle these two teams had last season mainly because the two teams played against each other after that game last season and settled any lingering problems then. I don't need to detail the way the game last season played out or reminisce on any of the events or even the score, it's a game many of us will never forget.

It's a new season and a new season series against the Islanders and the Pens are just looking for a win.
