Pittsburgh Penguins

It was like getting punched in the mouth and not being able to get back at your offender immediately. After suffering a 0-2 defeat at the hands of the Islanders, the Pittsburgh Penguins are deprived of instant revenge with the rematch scheduled nearly a week apart from the first game. Adding insult to the injury was the fact that Pittsburgh was dragged down to the fifth spot of the East after the Islanders went on to win their second straight on Monday. That said, the rematch on Thursday is treated as nothing but a must-win situation for the Penguins, especially in a tightly contested group where almost every team has a chance of making a deep run in the season.

Players to watch: S. Crosby C (G 4, A 5, PTS 9), J. Guentzel LW (G 4, A 4, PTS 8, B. Rust RW (G 2, A 6, PTS 8).

New York Islanders

Casey Cizikas and Matt Martin connived for the Islanders as the duo scored the team’s two goals that dispatched the Rangers on Monday. Just like Saturday’s win over the Penguins, the Islanders had to bank on a second straight late rally to escape past their rivals in New York. It was as if head coach Barry Trotz designed it. Over the last two games, his players appeared to be unleashed when it really mattered the most, scoring a pair in each of the deciding periods that took them out of the previous five-game slump. The Islanders boast 12 points to sit at the fourth spot in the East – the only division so far in the NHL Regular Season in which every team has double-digit points.

Players to watch: M. Barzal C (G 4, A 8, PTS 12), J. Eberle RW (G 5, A 2, PTS 7), N. Dobson D (G 1, A 5, PTS 6)
