The 44-year old Tavares suffered a calf injury, something that has nagged him for the past few years, in the team’s victory over Philadelphia last weekend.
Head Coach Darris Kilgour said that they will re-evaluate him during the week.

One of the biggest talking points so far this season has been the less-than-stellar play of Luke Wiles through the team’s first four games.

It's not often when the team that is supposedly the Stanley Cup contender is getting booed at home loudly and with a lot of frequency in only the second home game of the season.
But that's exactly what happened at the Consol Mausoleum last night, as the "inferior" New York Islanders skated circles around the lackadaisical Penguins, 4-1.

PITTSBURGH -- Jack Capuano knew what his New York Islanders were up against. The coach watched his team blow two-goal leads in each of their previous two games. Furthermore, they were playing in a city where their visits have been almost always fruitless in recent years.
