Islanders, Panthers look to end losing streaks
Dec 7, 2007 - 2:47 PM NY Islanders (13-11-2) at Florida (12-15-1) 7:30 pm ESTSUNRISE, Florida (Ticker) - The search for more offense continues for the New York Islanders.
New York has gone 16 consecutive games without scoring more than three goals and takes a four-game losing streak into Friday's game with Florida.
The Islanders are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing a pair of shorthanded goals in the process. New York's total of 60 goals ranks last in the NHL.
Florida comes into the game on a losing streak of its own. A 5-4 loss to Ottawa on Wednesday was the Panthers' third straight.
Friday's game is the first of four regular-season meetings. The Islanders won a pair of games by shootout last season against Florida and three of four overall.
Center Olli Jokinen and left wing Ville Peltonen combined for five goals and six assists against New York last season. New York center Mike Sillinger had two goals and five assists against Florida.
