News Post: Islanders and Penguins Face Off in First Season Meeting Tonight The Islanders and the rest of the NHL are getting back into action tonight as the Pittsburgh Penguins make their way to Elmont. This game marks the first meeting of the season for these two teams, with another matchup scheduled in Pittsburgh on New Year's Eve. The Islanders, currently in second place, will be aiming to keep both "New York" teams at the top of the division standings, which has a slightly retro feel reminiscent of the early '80s. On the other side, the Penguins, currently in seventh place but only seven points behind the Islanders, will be looking to emerge from a rollercoaster month of December. Fans and supporters are starting to wonder what will happen if the team fails to secure a playoff spot by February. Although the Islanders are dealing with injuries to key players like Adam Pelech, Ryan Pulock, and Scott Mayfield, they are relatively healthy in terms of the day-to-day injuries that were previously affecting the team. However, there are lineup changes expected for tonight's game, with Julien Gauthier making way for Oliver Wahlstrom and Matt Martin awaiting his turn after a recent visit to the injured reserve list.
