Game 6: Pens look to eliminate Islanders!

Well the Pens can eliminate the Islanders tonight and move on to the second round of the playoffs tonight! It won't be easy, as the Islanders are in their own territory and will have the loud support of their fans to back them up. The Pens lineup changes last game, sparked a change in them and they did a much better job in their all around game. They were managing the puck better, lessening turnovers, playing smart with the puck, and working hard in the Islanders' zone. Hopefully, the Pens can keep that hard work going and get the win tonight!

The Pens lineup is as follows:

Forwards
Duper, Sid, Iginla
Kuni, Geno, Neal
Morrow, Sutter, Cooke
TK, Vitale, Adams

Defense
Orpik, Martin
Despres, Tanger
Niskanen, Murray

Vokoun in the cage!
