Pittsburgh at New York

The New York Islanders have made great strides this season, No. 10 in the NHL in goals scored, and have one of the best power plays (No. 6) in the league. The Islanders posted a 5-1-1 mark in March before dropping their last two games. The Islanders are 4-0 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game and have Evgeni Nabokov in net. The veteran netminder owns a 10-4-0 career mark and 2.07 goals-against average vs. Pittsburgh. The Penguins have been on a winning streak with defense, as the offense has tallied just 13 goals the last five games, and Pittsburgh is just 2-for-14 on the power play over its last five games. The Islanders are home and rested (two days of rest), and note that the home team is 17-8 in the last 25 meetings between these teams. Take the Islanders.
