The New York Islanders Try To Overlook Goalie Problems When They Face The Ottawa Senators

The New York islanders do not seem to have much luck lately with goal tenders. They have problems with suspensions, bad –play, and failure to report. When they face off against the Ottawa Senators, they are hoping it won’t matter.

Goaltender Rick DiPietro missed most of the previous two seasons because of knee problems. Before that, he had a history of concussions. So why in the world was the Islanders' often injured franchise goalie, who has 10 years remaining on a 15-year contract, getting into a goalie fight with Pittsburgh counterpart Brent Johnson in the closing seconds of a 3-0 loss Wednesday to the Penguins? Never mind the fact that DiPietro got dropped with one punch, which is embarrassing enough, but this is just the start of the goalie problems for the Islanders.

Evgeni Nabokov remains suspended for refusing to report to the Islanders after they claimed the veteran goalie on waivers last week, but the Isles were "not interested" in putting in another waiver claim on Tampa Bay goalie Mike Smith, due to the price tag that he carries with him. The Islanders are hoping defense won’t play a role in their game against the Senators.

The Senators are off a game against the Redwings where they allowed seven goals. The Senators are in the middle of a miserable season and they can’t get anything to work for them right now.

Coach Cory Clouston and No. 1 goalie Brian Elliott are under the gun for horrible play and maneuvers that resulted in the Senators' eighth consecutive loss on home ice.

The Senators are 1-6 in their last seven road games and 18-39 in their last 57 overall. While the Islanders are not doing much better, they should get a victory against Ottawa.
