Interesting action from the Eastern Conference of the NHL is set for Feb 3, as the NY Islanders host the Pittsburgh Penguins at UBS Arena.
The Islanders will have questions to answer on Tuesday after losing back-to-back games. Despite that, they remain third in the Metropolitan Division.
The Penguins will be on the road this week, as they bid to continue their impressive run of results, winning seven of their last ten.

There will be pressure on the NY Islanders this week, as they bid to bounce back to form following defeats in their last two.
However, despite their loss in form, the Islanders remain third in the Metropolitan Division standings. Over their last ten, the Islanders have recorded wins in five games.
But, they were comprehensively outplayed in their latest outing, losing 4-1 on the road against the Washington Capitals on Monday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will have confidence coming into this round of games after winning seven of their last ten.
That strong run of form has them second in the Metropolitan Division, two points clear of the Islanders.
But, the Penguins will need to show their character on Tuesday after losing on Monday night against the Ottawa Senators. Egor Chinakhov was a bright spark in the loss, scoring and making one assist.
| TOTAL | Penguins | Islanders | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 300 | 140 | 141 | - |
| GOALS | 2091 | 1036 | 1055 |
A response will be expected by both of these sides on Tuesday. However, it could be worth noting that the Islanders have won 55% of their home games against the Penguins. Therefore, a home win could be the angle worth following.
