The Islanders defeated the Devils handily yesterday and will look to keep the train rolling tonight against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
New York sent Martin Brodeur to the showers early and completed a dominating effort with a 4-0 shutout for Rick DiPietro. It was back to back victories for the returning netminder.
John Tavares had six shots on goal and added a nice assist on Mark Streits power play tally. Despite 3 points in his last 4 games JT finds himself trailing in the rookie points race for the first time in months. Matt Duchene had 3 points last night giving him 33 to Tavares' 31. But only positive signs can be taken from Tavares having 16 shots on goal in his last 3 games.
Sid the kid and friends tonight.
