Nabokov will start for Islanders vs. Penguins

Evgeni Nabokov was the first goaltender off the ice for New York Islanders on Tuesday and will start against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"We're riding the hot hand for a bit," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "If you look at his past in San Jose, you see he's used to playing a lot of games."

This will be Nabokov's eighth start of the season. He has allowed seven goals in his past three games.

The Penguins held an optional skate this morning. Chris Kunitz took part after being under the weather of late and missing practices, not games, as a result. He had four goals in the Penguins' 6-3 victory against the Washington Capitals on Sunday.

Marc-Andre Fleury will likely get the start in net for Pittsburgh.
