The Pittsburgh Penguins will take on the New York Islanders at 7:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday. This game represents the second leg of a back-to-back for both teams, with the Penguins coming off a 3-2 defeat to the Ottawa Senators while the Islanders will aim to rebound from a defeat at the hands of the Washington Capitals. The nationally televised affair should function as a good opportunity for both squads to prove themselves as playoff contenders.
Despite their loss on Monday night, the Penguins have been playing exceedingly well lately. Head coach Dan Muse's team has taken home wins in six of its last seven games, including quality victories against the Seattle Kraken and the Edmonton Oilers. The offense has been particularly potent, with right wing Anthony Mantha leading the team to six-goal outings against the Chicago Blackhawks and the New York Rangers. The Islanders should provide a much stiffer test on Tuesday night.
Recent outings have not brought New York quite as much success. The Islanders enter this game on a two-game losing streak, dropping the aforementioned contest with the Capitals and a matchup with the Nashville Predators. Three straight wins separate those defeats from a hugely embarrassing loss against the Buffalo Sabres that saw the Islanders get whooped 5-0 by one of the worst teams in the NHL. A home date with a quality Pittsburgh team presents a good opportunity for the Islanders to turn things around.

Penguins vs Islanders Prediction and Pick
It is a bit of a shock to see the Penguins enter this game as underdogs. They have engaged in far more close games than the Islanders, but they seem to have fallen into a groove recently, aside from their loss to the Senators on Monday. New York's recent play has not been nearly as inspiring, and its injury report is long enough to match Pittsburgh's. The Penguins should have an easy go of scoring in this contest, which will allow them to pull a road upset, covering the spread and cashing the money line in the process.
