Pittsburgh at New York

Casey DeSmith made his seventh consecutive start and had 38 saves as Pittsburgh beat San Jose 3-1 on Tuesday and he is expected back in net again tonight as Tristan Jarry's return still is uncertain.

The Islanders have lost 14 of 20 and haven't been scoring much and they are 0-5 playing with two days rest and 2-8 their past 10 versus the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are 38-16 versus teams with losing records and 8-3 their past 11 games against a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game.
