The two long-time division rivals have combined for some unforgettable moments: the 0-3 comeback, Tonelli in Game 5, Volek in Game 7, Mario splitting the Red Sea, Crosby doing the same, Volek, Okposo-Niskanen, Tavares' first goal in his first NHL game, Fight Night, Volek, Fleury imploding, Tavares in Game 4 and then of course there’s the matter of David Volek. And whatever else Pens fans might remember fondly (who cares).
So it’s fitting that one of the wackiest Islanders games from last season came against the Penguins in Brooklyn on November 30, 2016.
