Islanders aim to move closer to playoff berth

Feb 10, 2007 - 4:44 PM NY Islanders (26-22-7) at Boston (24-25-4) 7:00 pm EST

BOSTON (Ticker) -- The New York Islanders aim to enhance their playoff hopes and at the same time damage the Boston Bruins' aspirations when the clubs meet on Saturday.

The Islanders have 59 points and are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, three points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning for the eighth and final playoff spot. However, the Islanders have struggled lately with losses in two of their last three games.

A lack of offense has hurt the Islanders, who have scored just three goals in their last three games.

New York was shut out by Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, 2-0. The Islanders had 25 shots while goaltender Rick DiPietro made 35 saves.

DiPietro is 1-1-1 in his last three games despite surrendering just three goals. He recorded 27 saves in a 2-0 shutout of the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.

The Bruins have 52 points and are in 13th place, 10 points out of the final playoff spot.

Boston lost, 5-2, to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. Newly acquired Brandon Bochenski, acquired in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, scored both Boston goals.

The right wing scored in Boston's 3-2 shootout win over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday and has three goals in his two games with the Bruins.
