Final
DiPietro hopes to extend shutout string vs. Senators
Dec 27, 2006 - 3:38 PM NY Islanders (19-13-3) at Ottawa (18-18-1) 7:30 pm ESTOTTAWA (Ticker) -- Rick DiPietro has been virtually unstoppable at home in recent games. Now he takes his act on the road.
DiPietro looks for his third consecutive shutout for the New York Islanders, who try to win for the fifth time in six games Wednesday when they visit the Ottawa Senators.
A winner of four of his last five starts, DiPietro has three consecutive shutouts at home, stopping all 91 shots in those games for the revitalized Islanders.
DiPietro made 26 saves, Jason Blake scored his 21st goal, and Arron Asham added his sixth for the Islanders in Tuesday's 2-0 triumph over the New York Rangers.
Ottawa has dropped six of its last nine contests but is playing 10 of its next 13 at home. The Senators have won all five meetings against the Islanders since the lockout in 2005-2006.
Daniel Alfredsson had two goals and an assist and Peter Schafer and Joseph Corvo added power-play tallies for Ottawa in Saturday's 6-3 triumph over the Philadelphia Flyers.
