Islanders - 4, Penguins - 1

Well, that just sucked! The Penguins had no business losing this game. A Stanley Cup contender against a team out of playoff contention with nothing to play for. The Isles were also decimated by injuries. I guess with the Devils up tomorrow, this game just screamed "trap game." The Penguins were dominant in the first period. I guess they thought that would continue the rest of the game and got a little arrogant. As much as the Penguins have matured this season, this game shows that they aren't completely there yet. You have to question the decision to start Ty Conklin when Fleury has been so hot as of late. But with back-to-back games on the schedule, that could explain it with saving Fleury for the Devils. Each game is worth the same amount of points though.
