Going back further, the Penguins are 8-3-1 in their last 12 games against the Islanders. Here at home, they have won five straight games, and have points in seven-consecutive contests against New York (6-0-1).

QUICK HITS​

Pittsburgh's five game home winning streak against the Islanders is its fourth longest home winning streak against one team behind Columbus (12), Ottawa (11) and Arizona (8).
Evgeni Malkin's two-point effort on Saturday night moved him into sole possession of 50th place on the NHL's all-time points list (1,202).

My prediction:

-The Pens will blow a lead, perhaps multiple leads just to keep things interesting
-The 3rd line again will give up 2 goals

 

[Icarium]

Welcome back, Jarry, get ready to get shelled!

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

My prediction:

-The Pens will blow a lead, perhaps multiple leads just to keep things interesting
-The 3rd line again will give up 2 goals

Pens will "dominate" early but only come away with a 1 or 2-goal lead, then the Pens will implode in the third and lose without even getting a point.

I feel like that happened recently, but I can't quite put my finger on when, or against who.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I hope they get embarrassed tonight. Badly.

 

[Ugene Magic]

You'll get no points using that kind of flow....

At some point, you'll learn not to hex your own team. Might as well be putting this up...

 

[Pens x]

Win or lose, Hextall won’t do a damn thing about it, so win.

Barzal is always a non-factor against us anyway.

It's Lee. Nelson. PAHHJJJOHH. Matt Martin looks like Carl Hagelin had a kid with Tom Wilson when he plays us. Team eats our lunch for no reason at all.

Barzal was quite good last game and the primary reason the Isles clawed their way back into it.

Great ass f***ing Moses! DesSmith isnt playing, it's a goddamn Christmas miracle.

Working a Hagelin shout-out in a Barzal-related post was a nice touch haha

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Jarry back between the pipes.

Isles without Barzal, Pageau and Bailey.

4 goals against Sorokin again tonight and we walk away with 2 points.

What's the over/under on how many minutes Jarry plays before he leaves and mysteriously disappears for another month

If he does disappear for sometime regarding another injury, he can kiss his extension goodbye.

Time for us to find our new #1.

Makes it the whole first period. Last 3 minutes of play is nothing but commentary on how that looked like a strange play back there and he seems to be looking towards the bench. Doesn't come out for the 2nd.

 

[BusinessGoose]

We can win

Just need to skate for 41mins. I'm not gonna ask for 60....but 41 should do it.

The winter classic repeat.

GDT idea: AI generate Sully's post-game comments before the game then compare it with the actual interview afterwards.

I'm pleasantly surprised GCRust wasn't reunited at practice. Guess Sully's waiting for the game to play his ace.

Woah they found Jarry?
