KEY GAME INFORMATION
NY ISLANDERS: LAST SEASON: 34-37-11, 79 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing eighth in Metropolitan Division and 14th in Eastern Conference.
COACH: Jack Capuano, fifth season with Islanders (118-120-39).
ADDED: G Jaroslav Halak, G Chad Johnson, C Cory Conacher, RW Jack Skille, LW Harry Zolnierczyk, C Mikhail Grabovski, LW Nikolai Kulemin.
LOST: G Evgeni Nabokov, D Radek Martinek.
PLAYER TO WATCH: John Tavares. The 24-year-old star center with the C on his sweater is back after missing New York's final 22 games last season due to a knee injury sustained while playing for Canada in the Olympics. He was second on the team with 66 points - including 24 goals - despite playing in only 59 games. The Islanders have made the playoffs only once (2013) since he was selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft.
OUTLOOK: This will be a year of nostalgia for the Islanders as they play their final season at the Nassau Coliseum - their home since joining the NHL in 1972 where four straight Stanley Cup champions were built from 1980-83. They will move to Brooklyn's Barclays Center next season. Since 2004, the Islanders have reached the playoffs just twice (2007 and 2013) and were eliminated in the first round both times. The task doesn't get any easier in the eight-team Metropolitan Division with perennial powerhouse Pittsburgh and the rival New York Rangers, who reached the Stanley Cup finals last season. Halak will shoulder a lot of the burden, along with Tavares, as he replaces veteran Evgeni Nabokov in goal.
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 51-24-7, 109 points. Won Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Johnston (first season, first NHL season).
ADDED: D Christian Ehrhoff, F Patric Hornqvist, C Nick Spaling, F Blake Comeau, G Thomas Greiss.
LOST: F James Neal, D Brooks Orpik, D Matt Niskanen.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Sidney Crosby. Sid ''the Kid'' isn't so young anymore. It's been nearly a decade since he arrived in Pittsburgh and helped rescue a floundering franchise. He rolled to his second MVP Award in 2013-14 after racking 36 goals and 68 assists for a league-leading 146 points. A wrist injury slowed him in the postseason. He scored just once in 13 playoff games.
OUTLOOK: New coach, new general manager but same old expectations in Pittsburgh. It's been more than five years since they lifted the Stanley Cup, a drought that cost former coach Dan Bylsma his job. Johnston brings in a more structured philosophy. There may be growing pains early, but if Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are healthy, the Penguins will again be a threat to make a deep playoff run.

*Islanders-Penguins Preview* ============================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

New York (12-6-0) at Pittsburgh (13-3-1), 7:00 p.m. EDT

Not only did Pascal Dupuis produce on the ice, his veteran leadership also had a big impact for Pittsburgh beyond the playing surface.

While losing him for the rest of the season - and possibly longer - will no doubt have its effect on the Penguins, they've been in similar situations before.

Pittsburgh needs to refocus quickly as it begins a home-and-home set against the surging New York Islanders on Friday night.

Dupuis had six goals and five assists for first-place Pittsburgh (13-3-1) in the midst of a successful return after tearing his ACL and MCL in December.

On Monday, one day before the Penguins won 4-0 at Montreal, the 35-year-old stayed in Pittsburgh for tests after experiencing chest pains. Doctors then discovered a blood clot in Dupuis' lungs, ending his season and putting his career in jeopardy.

"It's not a great situation to be in, but that's the card that I've been dealt," the married father of four said. "Hockey is definitely second on my mind right now."

While his presence on the ice certainly will be missed, his teammates are equally saddened by the void left in other situations.

"(The locker room is) where you really miss him," forward Chris Kunitz said. "The guy on the plane and hanging out at dinners ... that's the friendship part of what Duper brings to the team."

This isn't the first time the Penguins have had to overcome adversity in the form of a serious health situation with a teammate.

Goaltender Tomas Vokoun was diagnosed with a blood clot in September 2013 and missed all of last season, and defenseman Kris Letang suffered a stroke in January.

Defenseman Olli Maatta had a cancerous tumor surgically removed from his neck two weeks ago and missed six games before returning against the Canadiens.

"With things that we've been through in the past, we're kind of experienced dealing with things as a team," said Sidney Crosby, who missed chunks of time from 2010-12 with concussions. "You hate to see anybody go through that, but (especially) a teammate and someone I've gotten to know over the years."

The Penguins, winners of three straight, will have to contain their emotions as they prepare to face an Islanders team nipping at their heels in the Metropolitan Division.

New York (12-6-0) has won 12 of its first 18 for the first time since starting 13-4-1 in 1987-88 after beating Tampa Bay 5-2 on Tuesday. It allowed the first goal for the third straight contest, but it improved to 5-1-0 when giving up the initial score.

"We're showing that we can play with the top teams in this league," coach Jack Capuano said. "Our guys are working hard and stepping up."

Brock Nelson had a goal and an assist, tying him with John Tavares and Kyle Okposo for the team lead with 18 points.

"We're doing many good things on the ice as a group," Tavares said.

New York led after the first period in the first meeting with the Penguins on Oct. 18 but fell 3-1, its fourth straight defeat in the series. The Islanders host the Penguins on Saturday night to complete the set.

"You treat these back-to-back series like a playoff series," Pittsburgh coach Mike Johnston said. "You prepare for a team, play a game, then react to how you played and what you need to do that next day. It gives us a chance to simulate playoff action."

Johnston said Marc-Andre Fleury and backup Thomas Greiss each would start against the Islanders, but didn't specify which game. Fleury will have a chance to become the 31st goaltender in NHL history with 300 victories when he makes his next start.

New York also is expected to start both Jaroslav Halak and backup Chad Johnson. Halak has won five straight starts with a 1.37 goals-against average and two shutouts.
