Projected lineups for Islanders, Penguins
PITTSBURGH - Here are the projected lineups for a game Tuesday night between the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins at Consol Energy Center:

ISLANDERS

Matt Moulson - John Tavares - Kyle Okposo
Michael Grabner - Frans Nielsen - Brad Boyes
David Ullstrom - Keith Aucoin - Colin McDonald
Matt Martin - Marty Reasoner - Casey Cizikas

Mark Streit - Brian Strait
Andrew MacDonald - Travis Hamonic
Thomas Hickey - Matt Carkner

Evgeni Nabokov
Rick DiPietro

Injured: Josh Bailey, Jesse Joensuu
Scratched: Eric Boulton, Joe Finley, Radek Martinek
   
Hamonic's appearance at the morning skate was something of a surprise after he injured an ankle during a game Sunday at Winnipeg, but he said he was ready to go. Hickey performed well enough in 21 shifts during his NHL debut Sunday to warrant another game. After a one-game layoff, Cizikas is back in for Boulton.
   
PENGUINS

Chris Kunitz – Sidney Crosby – Pascal Dupuis
Tyler Kennedy – Evgeni Malkin – James Neal
Tanner Glass – Brandon Sutter – Matt Cooke
Dustin Jaffray – Joe Vitale – Craig Adams

Simon Despres – Kris Letang
Brooks Orpik – Paul Martin
Ben Lovejoy – Deryk Engelland

Marc-Andre Fleury
Tomas Vokoun

Injured: Matt Niskanen
Scratched: Robert Bortuzzo, Eric Tangradi

With Niskanan out two-to-four weeks because of a lower-body injury sustained early in the Sunday game at Ottawa, rookie Despres regains his spot in the lineup. Based on pure skill alone, the former first-round pick is the only Penguins defenseman who can compare to Letang. Expect, though, the ice-time split to mirror the game in Ottawa: Letang, Orpik and Martin could play 25-plus minutes, with Despres, Lovejoy and Engelland in the mid-teens.
