| |  | NY ISLANDERS: UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) - With their eyes squarely on the future, the New York Islanders can harken back to some recent history to build on.
For the first time in six years, the Islanders are starting a season after making a playoff appearance, and there is every reason to believe that reaching the postseason can soon become a much more common occurrence.
The Islanders stretched the Pittsburgh Penguins to six games, dropping the final two of the first-round series after splitting the first four. Just getting into the postseason was a major accomplishment, even in the lockout-shortened season, and the task will be even greater this time in a full 82-game campaign.
``I definitely see the expectations are higher, and people are going to expect for us to be in the playoffs,'' new captain John Tavares said. | | PITTSBURGH: PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Penguins didn't panic when the bitter disappointment of last spring's sweep at the hands of the Boston Bruins wore off.
If anything, the Penguins went the other way. While other NHL powers underwent substantial roster overhauls, Pittsburgh did what it could to keep the core of one of the league's most consistent winners in tack.
The Penguins awarded coach Dan Bylsma with a contract extension shortly after getting swept by the Bruins in the Eastern Conference finals. Pittsburgh also reached agreements with former league MVP Evgeni Malkin and Norris Trophy finalist Kris Letang.
Penguins star Sidney Crosby says the Penguins don't need to change their approach to be a threat to win their second Stanley Cup in five years.
Pittsburgh opens the season Oct. 3 against New Jersey. |

*Islanders-Penguins Preview* ============================
By ELI KABERON STATS Writer
New York (8-11-3) at Pittsburgh (14-8-0), 7:00 p.m. EDT
While both the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins have scored 63 goals, the Islanders are near the bottom of the Metropolitan Division while the Penguins are in first place.
The difference for the Penguins has been defense, and they'll try to continue their stingy ways when they host the Isles on Friday night.
Pittsburgh (14-8-0) is allowing 25.0 shots on goal per game, among the lowest marks in the NHL, and its 48 goals given up are among the fewest in the league. Marc-Andre Fleury is fourth overall with a 1.90 goals-against average.
"Smothering is always a word we use," coach Dan Bylsma said after a 4-0 victory over Washington on Wednesday, the club's second straight and third in four games since a three-game skid. "We don't give up a lot or allow (opponents) to use their speed in space."
Fleury recorded his second shutout of the season with 18 saves and has posted a 1.25 GAA in going 3-1-0 in the last four contests.
Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have provided the offense, with Crosby recording 28 points and notching two goals and an assist over the past two.
Malkin has 19 assists, 12 of which have come in his last nine games.
Crosby scored but the Islanders won 4-3 at Pittsburgh on Oct. 25, snapping the Penguins' four-game regular-season winning streak in the series.
Pittsburgh has been very good on home ice, winning four of five there to give it a 9-3-0 mark with only 21 goals allowed.
New York (8-11-3) hasn't been nearly as effective in its own end, giving up 71 goals for one of the highest totals in the Eastern Conference.
Kevin Poulin, playing in place of injured No. 1 goalie Evgeni Nabokov, made 24 saves in a 5-2 loss at Toronto on Tuesday.
"He's got an opportunity to play some more games," coach Jack Capuano said. "Just knowing him and the way he is, he's going take this opportunity and make the most of it."
In Poulin's only start against the Penguins on Jan. 25, 2011, he stopped 31 shots in a 1-0 Pittsburgh victory.
"This is why you play hockey," Poulin told the team's official website. "You want to play more and you want to win."
The Islanders have dropped six of eight.
"We have a lot to prove still and we're still a growing team and we need to find our game on a consistent level," leading scorer John Tavares said. "We need to be better in a lot the gritty areas, things that top teams do really well, and we don't do that enough."
