Marcus Hogberg is expected to start for New York and he has stopped all 17 shots he has faced in 40 minutes with the Islanders this season. He previously played three seasons with Ottawa from 2018-21. Alex Nedeljkovic is probable for Pittsburgh and he had 29 saves in a 3-2 overtime victory over Los Angeles his last outing on Dec. 17. The Islanders have alternated good performances offensively as they have scored six goals twice their past four games and none and one in the other two games. That doesn't bode well for scoring tonight as New York defeated the Penguins 6-3 on Saturday. The Penguins will make some defensive adjustments and they had allowed 2.83 goals per game their previous six games. Take the UNDER.
