After a big letdown in their last playoff game, the Islanders are looking to bounce back tonight in what some people are calling a must win game.
The Isles gave up eight goals, tying a team record in the playoffs.
Coach Barry Trotz didn't even put the team on the ice yesterday, instead telling them to take a mental break.
Trotz says when he looked at the game film, he saw simple things they can easily correct tonight.
"We gave up three short handed, power play goals. Two goals are direct miscues just handling pucks. There's five of their eight goals right there. We can clean those up. Those are all correctable. We just have to be willing to," says Trotz.
The big question is which goalie will start for the Isles. Trotz says that will be a game time decision.
