New York at Pittsburgh

Coach Barry Trotz decided to give Ilya Sorokin his first start in a playoff game, and it paid off as he had 39 saves in New York's 4-3 overtime win in Game 1. It was Pittsburgh's 10th loss in its past 11 postseason games, and it won't get any easier for the Penguins tonight, even if Semyon Varlamov is in net as he is 19-11-4 with a 2.04 goals-against average and .929 save percentage. Kyle Palmieri scored his second goal of the game 16:30 into overtime, and the Islanders hope it will be a good omen for the forward who was acquired at the trade deadline. He had struggled with scoring since. The Penguins are 1-9 their past 10 playoff games as favorites. Play the Islanders on the puckline.
