Islanders look to stay hot tonight vs. Penguins

The Islanders have some streaks they’d like to continue when they return home to face the Penguins on Thursday night at Barclays Center.

The Islanders are looking to win back-to-back games against the Penguins and earn their fourth straight victory overall – all against Metropolitan Division foes – after concluding a three-game road trip with a 6-3 win at Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.

“It was a good trip for us,” Islanders center Brock Nelson said. “It’s tough playing the same team back to back. We’ve got to be ready for Pittsburgh. We want to come out and match that and bring our own energy.
