The Islanders have a decent streak, but the Penguins are motivated to take over the first place in their division. Important game for the home team and you can watch it on gamecenter.nhl.com or espn360.com NHL live stream.

The New Jersey Devils and the Pittsburgh Penguins have the same amount of points now, with just a few games left of the ordinary season. The team who wins the division will play an easier team in the first round of the playoffs, which is something to aim at. It would probably be the Philadelphia Flyers, the Boston bruins or the New York Rangers for example, and those teams are better to play than the Ottawa Senators who the second team in the division probably would play. The Penguins will try to win every game and pass the Devils.

The Islanders have won a couple of games recently and their young talents show that the franchise has a great future ahead of them. But they are not good enough to compete with the better teams this season, and players like Okposo and Tavares are not two players who can carry their team through an entire season. They will have to think more about the team’s future, because they won’t win in this game. The Penguins will go in hard and win the game easily on home ice. You can see it on espn360.com or gamecenter.nhl.com. Fleury won’t let in many goals, if he is the netminder for the game, but I suppose Brent Johnson will start the game, and that would make the teams more equal. NHL live stream shows the game, and it is always fun to watch Crosby, Malkin and Staal play with less skilled defensemen.
