It's the New York Islanders. Sorry.
If you're reading this post, you have already shown more interest in the Islanders than both Evgeni Nabokov and Lubomir Visnovsky. Hopefully the Pens care more about this game. Otherwise we'll be faced with another Winnipeg.
Niskanen is out for 2-to-4 weeks. Brian Strait is an Islander.
Season Series: 0-0-0
Last meeting that counted: March 29, 2012. Penguins lost 5-3.
What we said in our recap:
Not really gonna go into this game too much. It's Friday, and 11 people will read this.

The Islanders' Strait - Streit combination will almost certainly be the highlight of the night for Steigerwald and Errey. Hopefully they can keep the two names straight. *Groan*
