Game 21- Penguins @ New York Islanders

The Pens will make their second visit to Long Island in a little over two weeks on Wednesday night at 7:00 when they will take on the Islanders at Nassau Coliseum. Since the Penguins, last trip to the Coliseum, both teams have gone nowhere but up.

Following their shootout to the Penguins, the Isles have five of seven games, the most exciting of which came Monday night in Montreal. New York trailed 3-2 with four minutes and change left in regulation when Habs blueliner Ryan O'Byrne put the puck in his own net during a delayed penalty to tie it at 3. Then, the Isles won it in the shootout.

The Penguins have lost just one regulation game since the Isles game on November 8th. That loss came on Saturday at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks, and the Pens will look to bounce back from that in this one.

It'll be Dany Sabourin against Joey MacDonald in goal. Marc-Andre Fleury is still hurt.
