Islanders Army

Around the NHL

October 29th, 2006 by murph

In other action last night…

• The Flyers got shellacked again, losing 8-2 to the Penguins. Sydney Crosby picked up his first career hat-trick.
• Atlanta denied Buffalo’s bid for their 11th straight win to start the season. Slava Kozlov scored the only goal of the shootout for the win. Atlanta appears to be the real deal this year 8-1-3, and just 2 points behind Buffalo in the standings.
• Martin Broudeur pitched his 2nd straight shutout and #83 of his career as the Devils beat Columbus 1-0.
• Zdeno Chara burned his old team the Ottawa Senators with the game winning goal with just 4:25 remaining in the game.
• Tomas Kaberle had 4 goals, a hat-trick and a shootout goal, as Toronto beat the Canadiens 5-4 in a shootout.

DP Back Tonight?

October 19th, 2006 by murph

He’s on the roster as the Islanders are set to host the Pittsburgh Penguins (2-3-0) tonight. Last night, Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin played in his first NHL game, recording his first career goal in the second period as the Penguins lost to the New Jersey Devils 2-1. The victory was number 450 for Devils’ goalie Martin Brodeur.

DP Still Can’t Go

October 16th, 2006 by murph

Islanders vs Nashville (1-3) tonight at 7:30p. Newsday.com is reporting Rick DiPietro is still day to day with a “minor groin pull”. Mike Dunham gets his third straight start.

NYI Goalie Stats:

Goaltending	GP GS MIN W L GA GAA  SA SV SV%	 
 Mike Dunham 	3  2  144 2 0 5  2.08 94 89 .947
 Rick DiPietro 	3  3  159 0 3 12 4.54 99 87 .879 	

Also tonight, Marty Brodeur of the Devils goes for career win number 450 at the Rangers tonight. Should be a good game to watch, and it should be available in HDTV too. I’ll watch any hockey, including the Rangers in HDTV. Isles are delegated to FSNY2, so tune in early because it will take 10 minutes to find that station in the guide.
