The Penguins are coming off a 4-2 loss against the New York Islanders on Tuesday that ended a four-game winning streak. Things were looking great for the Penguins after the first period leading 2-0 after a goal from Sidney Crosby. They held that lead until 17 seconds into the third period when New York scored its first goal. That opened the floodgates and the Islanders scored four unanswered goals. The Islanders won the season series 3-1 in the process.

Columbus will be playing on back-to-back nights. The Blue Jackets had trouble with offense in their last game dropping to the defending champs 1-0 on Thursday in overtime. Aleksander Barkov scored the lone goal for the Florida Panthers on the power play just 29 seconds into overtime. Sergei Bobrovsky was rightfully the first star of the game stopping all 25 shots against the Blue Jackets. Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Elvis Merzlikins was right behind him with the second star with 27 saves. Expect another tight game here tonight in Pittsburgh.
