New York at Pittsburgh

The New York Islanders were a no-show for Game One as they decisively lost to the Penguins 5-0. They now face an 0-2 deficit tonight, and off an embarrassing Game One loss, I look for them to rebound with a top game performance here tonight. Pittsburgh had a strong resolve in the opener without Sidney Crosby, but that usually happens when a star is down. They now have another issue with James Neal likely sitting out. The Islanders have been a much better road team late in the season, and remember the last two times this team was shutout they came back to win their next contest by scores of 3-1 and 5-2. The Penguins have been vulneable in the First Round where they are just 3-7 in their last 10. Better be ready tonight. Play on New York.
