The Islanders are coming off of an absolutely disgusting game against the Flyers on Monday. They look to turn things around tonight as they face the worst team in the Atlantic division. After starting off the season well, the team has to not let things get out of hand. They travel right across Pennsylvania into Pittsburgh, so fatigue shouldn't show from traveling. With players starting to come back, things can get happy again on the Island.

My Projected Lines:

Goalies
39 Rick DiPietro
34 Wade Dubielewicz

Defensemen
32 Brendan Witt - 24 Radek Martinek
14 Chris Campoli - 8 Bruno Gervais
25 Andy Sutton - 4 Bryan Berard

Forwards
26 Ruslan Fedotenko - 89 Mike Comrie - 7 Trent Hunter
20 Sean Bergenheim - 63 Josef Vasicek - 81 Miroslav Satan
11 Andy Hilbert - 18 Mike Sillinger - 13 Bill Guerin
12 Chris Simon - 10 Richard Park - 28 Tim Jackman

The Penguins, on the other hand, are the worst team in the division, as stated before. With 10 regulation losses already, things are stacking up. This would be a game they can turn around in, but it won't be at all easy. They have plenty of rising stars on the team, but will they come up clutch tonight? Who knows.

My Projected Lines:

Goalies
29 Marc-Andre Fleury
30 Dany Sabourin

Defensemen
55 Sergei Gonchar - 3 Mark Eaton
5 Darryl Sydor - 44 Brooks Orpik
19 Ryan Whitney - 4 Rob Scuderi

Forwards
12 Ryan Malone - 87 Sidney Crosby - 17 Petr Sykora
11 Jordan Staal - 71 Evgeni Malkin - 8 Mark Recchi
10 Gary Roberts - 16 Erik Christensen - 18 Adam Hall
37 Jarkko Ruutu - 25 Maxime Talbot - 27 Georges Laraque
