Penguins 9, Islanders 2: What was the high point in the Islanders for this one? When they scored to make it 2-1? When the game ended? People would be hard-pressed to come up with another nominee.
At the first intermission they trailed, 4-1. At the second, it was 8-1. Not a great night for the Islanders. Mark Streit and Andy Sutton scored the goals for the Islanders, who visit Columbus on Saturday.
