Salo, who was peppered with 16 shots in the opening stanza, has suffered just two losses since dropping a decision to the New York Islanders on November 8 and has been the key factor in his team's recent 9-1-1 stretch. In that span the Oilers have allowed a mere 13 goals. "Tommy Salo was brilliant in the first period, I think he made a save with every piece of the anatomy," said head coa |

The Lightning, who are winless in their last six road games (0-3-1-2), will host the New York Islanders on Saturday. With 32 points, the first-place Bolts are still one ahead of Carolina in the Southeast Division standings. Montreal, meanwhile, has won its last two games after dropping four straight (0-2-0-2).

| (MySportsbook) - The next time the New York Islanders see the Chicago Blackhawks on their schedule they might be better served staying at home. With a 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Tuesday, the Islanders saw their winless string hit 10 games (0-8-2) against Chicago. In fact New York has just one win in its last 22 meetings with the Hawks and has not seen the win column against them since January 25, 1997, on a night when they honored legendary coach Al Arbour. To make matters worse for the Islanders, defensema |

| Pittsburgh, PA (MySportsbook) - The New York Islanders will aim for their third straight win tonight when they travel to Pittsburgh to faceoff with the Penguins in an Atlantic Division battle at the Igloo. Following a win over Vancouver on Tuesday, the Islanders got a measure of revenge on Friday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs with a spirited 4-2 victory at Nassau Coliseum. Arron Asham scored twice, leading the Islanders to the win in the rematch of last year's bitter opening round playoff series. Jason Wiemer |

| Uniondale, NY (MySportsbook) - One of the most anticipated matchups of the season will take place tonight when the New York Islanders welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to Nassau Coliseum in the teams' first clash since last spring's spirited playoff series. Toronto escaped the first-round set by winning a Game 7, but the series is best-remembered for the low-bridge hit on Isles captain Mike Peca by the Leafs' Darcy Tucker in the fifth match. While legal, Tucker's hip check was extremely dangerous and the result |

| (MySportsbook) - A night after having their franchise-best 10-game winning streak stopped at the hands of the New York Islanders, the Vancouver Canucks narrowly avoided their first two-game slide in over a month and a half with a 3-2 overtime win against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday. After falling behind by a goal entering the final period, Todd Bertuzzi evened the game 6:47 into the third then won it with his 13th goal of the season 56 seconds into the extra session.

The anchor of the season thus far has been a franchise-record 10- game winning streak that spanned from November 9 until this past Tuesday when Vancouver was humbled by the host New York Islanders. And some of the facts during the run were simply staggering. Vancouver outscored opponents by a 41-20 margin in the 10 games and held a lead or was tied for a whopping 567:01 of 600 minutes -- or 95 percent of the time. And the previously-mentioned |

| (MySportsbook) - The New York Islanders have waited for this moment ever since the Toronto Maple Leafs knocked them out of last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Not only is it a chance to get even with the team that cut their season short a year ago, but it will also be the first on-ice encounter between Isles' captain Michael Peca and Toronto tough-guy Darcy Tucker, who ended Peca's season in the playoffs with a cheap hip-check that tore up Peca's knee.
