PITTSBURGH – The Islanders can match the franchise record of 15 straight games with at least a point on Tuesday night against the Penguins at PPG Paints Arena.
But they also haven’t forgotten the only (slight) blemish on their current 13-0-1 streak: a 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins at Barclays Center on Nov. 7 that snapped the Islanders’ 10-game winning streak. The Penguins fought back from a three-goal deficit entering the third period in that game.
