A Few Moments from Penguins-Islanders History
Obviously this isn't the complete history of the two teams playing against one another, but here are some key moments in Penguins/Islanders history.
1975
That video pretty much explains the situation. The Islanders came back from a 0-3 hole to eliminate the Penguins.
1982
The Pens were pretty much annihilated by the Islanders in the first two games...
Now that Arnott Signing Blewup, Who's Available?
With Jason Arnott failing his physical, depth still remains an issue for the Rangers. So, Jeff Klein at the New York Times takes a look at free agents still available...
"The top-scoring free-agent forward remaining is Petr Sykora, 36, who scored 21 goals for the Devils last season. But he is not considered a good fit for a Tortorella team.
The No. 3 scorer is Andrew...
A look at which forwards are still free agents

Yesterday we discussed how the Rangers forward depth is clearing becoming an issue for the club. Before the season started, we had also discussed how the Rangers could definitely use a forward to help make that fourth line stronger. Keep in mind that the Rangers need bottom six help, but it doesn’t necessarily...
Devils have doubters coming off Stanley Cup run
Reaching the Stanley Cup finals hasn't made the New Jersey Devils one of the favorites to win the NHL title in this lockout-shortened season.
Far from it.
Despite returning Ilya Kovalchuk, Martin Brodeur and almost everyone from the club that came within two games of winning its fourth Cup, the Devils have a lot of doubters heading into the 48-game regular season.
A big part...
New Jersey Devils Set to Surprise?
By Kristin Tullo (@K_Tullo)

It’s not unusual for the New Jersey Devils to be written off as a non-contender before the drop of the first puck, but this year more than most the Devils have been predicted to be a bottom feeder.
When Zach Parise opted to return to his home state of Minnesota upon becoming a free agent, the Devils loss to the Los Angeles Kings in Game...
As short season nears, Devils search for offense
The lockout-shortened 48-game season hasn't started and the New Jersey Devils are already looking goals.
Not the type a team sets before the season. The Devils need the ones that cross the line, ripple the nets and get fans out of their seats.
Truth be told, they don't know who is going to produce them.
Much of the concern has to do with the loss of former captain Zach...
Todd Cordell: Petr Sykora Wants To Return To NHL + Should Ilya Kovalchuk Be Captain?
With the NHL lockout now over and the regular season set to begin within the next 10-14 days, there is much work and preparation that needs to be done for all teams, players and coaches. Here are some notes on the New Jersey Devils' captain candidates, Petr Sykora's hopes to return to the NHL this season and more.
- I'll start off with the captaincy thing. The Devils...
Down to Business
Well, its finally back. There is no use crying over lost time, so here are some news, notes and quotes since the news broke the lockout ended in NJ.
Petr Sykora, who played for the Devils last season, is hoping to be invited back to Devils camp again after his contract expired after the previous season. If you remember, Sykora entered the training camp last year and was originally...
Gary Bettman’s 2012 Massacre. Is Petr Sykora the next victim?

Two words hockey fans always hate to hear. Game over and Gary Bettman.
One strike and three lockouts have occurred in my lifetime forcing records to be delayed, stories unwritten, & milestones unachieved. While owners and players continue to debate over...
Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils Going Nowhere + Would you Give Sykora a 2 Year Deal?
Over the last few days several reports have surfaced about Jeff Vanderbeek not being able to pay off debts and that he may lose majority ownership of the team if he doesn't pay them off soon. That, as many of you have seen, has led to a lot of speculation surrounding the franchise. Today I'll touch on that situation as well as unrestricted free agent Petr Sykora.
- I&...
Petr Sykora would be sick if Pens can’t land Doan
There is no doubt in any Penguins fan’s mind – at least there shouldn’t be – that Shane Doan is the best option for the Pens at this point…hell, anything is better than Tyler Kennedy on Sid’s wing. He’s been getting it done his entire career with the same franchise and he wants to stay in Phoenix, but it looks like Greg Jamison is $20 million short from buying the...
Shane Doan’t: Sykora Should Be Predators Target

Many teams around the league are vying for the services of Shane Doan. The Predators amongst others are rumored to be in the mix, but some teams have graciously bowed out of the Doan sweepstakes (Detroit and Vancouver) citing that Doan wants too much money or too long a contract.
But while 27 other NHL franchises may be weighing up the possibility...
Todd Cordell: Five Reasons Why the New Jersey Devils Will Make the Playoffs in 2012-13
While the 2012-13 NHL regular season is still at least a few months away, depending on CBA negotiations, I'm starting to see more and more writers and media outlets putting together their playoff projections for the upcoming season. Though the New Jersey Devils lost Zach Parise, Alexei Ponikarovsky and perhaps Petr Sykora, I still expect the 2012 Eastern Conference Champions...
Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils Still Interested in Petr Sykora + Other Notes
One of the better free agents remaining in terms of both production and expected asking price, Petr Sykora, is still available waiting to be plucked up by an NHL team. Sykora's goal is to re-sign with the Devils, and that still appears to be a possibility. Here are some notes on that, and some other Devils related topics.
- Devils President and General Manager Lou Lamoriello...
Todd Cordell: Elias Undergoes Surgery, Devils in Need Of Two New Assistants, Other Notes
After losing Zach Parise, Alexei Ponikarovsky, Adam Oates and perhaps Petr Sykora, the New Jersey Devils already had their work cut out for them. With the news that Larry Robinson has left the team to join the San Jose Sharks, Lou Lamoriello and the Devils have yet another hole to fill. Here are some notes on that and some other Devils related topics.
- I'll start with Robinson...
Todd Cordell: Should The Devils Bring Back Sykora? + Why a Defenseman May Be On The Move
As we get deeper and deeper into the off-season, the rumors and speculation league wide seem to drop off dramatically. That said, several teams rosters, the New Jersey Devils included, are not quite set for the upcoming season. Here are some notes on what they could do, and why I have reason to believe that the Devils could be shopping one of their defenseman.
- I'll start...
To change team's path, all L.A. has to do is win
The Los Angeles Kings are looking to build something intangible, while the New Jersey Devils are looking to re-summon it.
Backed by a three-games-to-two series lead in the Stanley Cup Final but returning to home ice having lost the momentum stored through three rounds of playoff dominance, the Kings don't have the ability to recall the experiences and organizational attitude...
Devils have hope after gutty performance
Just as they were on the verge of exiting the Stanley Cup final in four straight games, just as they were in danger of getting shut out for a second straight game and matching the record for scoring futility in a four-game sweep, the Devils showed they weren't quite ready to call it quits for the season.
Now, the Kings, the first team to have four 3-0 series leads in the same...

Will Jacob Josefson make an impact in his return tonight for the New Jersey Devils?
New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer is going with speed over experience with handing Jacob Josefson the start over Petr Sykora.
Suffering from a wrist injury since early April, the Devils coach is hoping Josefson can makeup for where Sykora has been lacking. And that lacking is everything offensive with no goals or assists and just three shots in goal in the series...

Devils win in Detroit for first time since '96
Petr Sykora's goal with 8:40 left in the third period lifted the Devils to a 2-1 win over the Red Wings, giving New Jersey its first win in Detroit in 15 years.
Sykora gathered a feed from linemate Patrik Elias while all alone in front of the Detroit goal and fired a shot that eluded Red Wings netminder Jimmy Howard for his 20th goal of the season. It's the 10th time Sykora...
