Who you got in this one Fish I'm going with the Islanders, Pittsburgh's streak got to come to an end.
PITTSBURGH played yesterday in PITT from 330-630 EDT...........now playing in NY today at 1 pm EDT.............
Big game for the ISLES in the playoff race..........

Also.........
New York bolstered its defense Sunday by acquiring
Marc-Andre Bergeron and a third-round draft pick in 2008 from Edmonton for Denis Grebeshkov in a swap of defensemen.
"This trade addresses our need for a quality offensive defenseman to improve our power play," Islanders general manager
Garth Snow said.
Althought the PENS hold a 4-2 season edge on the ISLES, the teams are 1-1 at NY...........and the LAST FOUR have been at PITT.
Still debating...........but right now leaning quite strongly towards the ISLES and UNDER.
