Penguins Gameday #5 (Islanders)

Penguins (1-3-0, 2 pts)
Islanders (1-1-1, 3 pts)
Where: Consol Energy Center
When: 7:00 ET
TV: FSNPIT

Ok so let's try this whole "christening the Consol" thing again. If the 3rd time is the charm, shouldn't the 4th time be magical, especially considering the Isles are playing with half of a team.

Opponents to Watch:

Blake Comeau- Clearly the best player the Isles are putting on the ice through 3 games. Lets cool him down a bit.

Rick DiPietro- He will either be solid or shaky. Pens have to get in his head early.

Nino Niederreiter- rookie looking good so far.

Notes:

Pens will be without Michalek and likely Orpik again. I assume Comrie will be back in the lineup.

If you thought the Pens were getting hit hard with injuries, check out the Isles. Star center John Taveres is a game-time decision, Rob Schremp is out for at least a month, top d-men Okposo and Streit are both recovering from surgery, and Wisniewski is suspended for flipping off Sean Avery.
