Penguins V. Isles Preview: Game Notes, Lineup, and More
The Pittsburgh Penguins will look to build on their four-game win streak when they take on the New York Islanders Tuesday at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa.
And they'll give their hot goaltender the net yet again.
Tristan Jarry, who is 4-0 with a .930 save percentage over those four consecutive games, has earned a fifth-straight start. He has regained his form after struggling most of the season, and he will be given another opportunity to earn the Penguins a much-needed win.

In addition, forward Joona Koppanen was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on an emergency basis and will slot in the lineup in place of Emil Bemstrom.
"He can kill penalties, he can play a checking role, he can play center, he can play the wing," head coach Mike Sullivan said. "The biggest reason [for the call-up], quite honestly, is because he's played really well."
Here is the rest of the lineup:

As it stands now, the Penguins are six points out of the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Islanders - who are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games - are two points ahead of the Penguins in the standings with three games in hand, so earning a clean two points will be critical.
"They're a good team," Sullivan said. "They're a sound defensive team, they play with structure, they've got a team game. They have solid goaltending, and they're stingy defensively. So we've got to make sure that we make it as hard on them as they're going to make it on us."
