Islanders-Penguins stream – Game 2 on NBCSN

YKUKsIGR_uRF
Kathryn Tappen, Anson Carter and Brian Boucher dive into the latest power rankings for the non-playoff teams most likely to return next season, with the Stars leading the way, and name the sleepers left off the list.

NBCSN’s coverage of the 2020-21 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs continues with Tuesday’s matchup between the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins. Islanders-Penguins stream coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET on NBCSN. You can watch the game online and on the NBC Sports app by clicking here.

Kyle Palmieri scored twice, including the overtime winner, as the Islanders took Game 1 of the series 4-3. Ilya Sorokin, who was a surprise starter as Semyon Varlamov deals with an injury, stopped 39 of 42 shots faced in the win.

Evgeni Malkin, who did not play Game 1 for the Penguins, practice with the team on Monday and is a game-time decision for Tuesday night. Same for Brian Dumoulin. Goaltender Casey DeSmith will not dress as Maxim Lagace will serve as Tristan Jarry’s backup.

New York’s penalty kill was strong during the regular season finishing sixth (83.7%). That was strength in Game 1 killing off all three Pittsburgh power plays.

“You take each game as a singular event and you move on,” said Islanders coach Barry Trotz. “Good, bad or indifferent, you try to get better. If you win or if you lose, you try to get better. Today will be about let’s get our bodies right, let’s get our minds right. We didn’t do anything, we won one hockey game. We’ve got a lot of improvement in some areas.

“We’re going to focus on the battle tomorrow that Pittsburgh’s going to bring. That’s the fun thing about the playoffs right now, is you embrace what’s in front of you.”
