The Islanders take to the ice a few days after a rough 4-3 OT loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. After holding a 3-0 lead going into the third period, the Islanders completely melted away as the Penguins scored four unanswered goals to end the Isles ten-game win streak.
Against the Panthers, the Islanders have to show their coach, and the fans, that their third-period capitulation was nothing more than a fluke.
For their part, the Florida Panthers are going to try their best to keep the Islanders in the "L" column.
Here are three players to watch during this afternoon's game.
