Pittsburgh Penguins News & Notes:

Pittsburgh is battling for a Wild Card position and is one point behind the Ottawa Senators, who have some goaltending issues.

New York Islanders News & Notes:

The Islanders are dead last in the Metropolitan Division. Their specialty teams have been atrocious and are last in the league for PP and PK %. With an older core and few assets to play with, it will be interesting to see what GM Lou Lamoriello can do with his roster.
