After firing the coach that led them to last year's Stanley Cup finals and replacing him with AHL coach Dan Bylsma, the Pittsburgh Penguins look for their second road win since the beginning of January as they meet the New York Islanders this afternoon.

The Penguins have struggled to a 27-25-5 record this season despite having the top two scorers in the league in Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby. They are in 10th place in the East and one of the worst money teams in the NHL.

The Islanders haven't fared any better lately than they have against the Penguins this season. They lost 5-1 in Philadelphia on Saturday to fall to 0-4-1 following a season-high four-game winning streak from Jan. 21-Feb. 3.

Malkin and Penguins wingers Pascal Dupuis and Petr Sykora each have a hat trick against New York this season.
