Game 6 - Islanders at Hockey Mecca

We aren't letting this Hockey Mecca thing die.

The Pens return home to the Corporate Entitlement Center to face the Islanders.  For some reason this game starts at 7:30 instead of the usual 7.  We're guessing it's because the game is on TSN.

Tough news for the Pens today as Matt Niskanen will be out 2-4 weeks with an ankle injury.  Simon Despres will play tonight, although we suspect that Robert Bortuzzo will get a chance to play at some point during this upcoming stretch of games.

Brain Strait, who was recently lost to waivers, will return to Pittsburgh tonight.  He has averaged about 17 minutes a game for the Islanders.  Fire Ray Shero.

Too lazy to do lines.  Go get them from Empty Netters
