PITTSBURGH -- Kyle Palmieri had a goal and two assists and Pierre Engvall scored the go-ahead goal at 13:08 of the third period for the New York Islanders, who rallied from down two in the third for a 4-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday.

There is potentially plenty of benefit for the Pittsburgh Penguins to meekly close out the remainder of the 2024-25 season with as few victories as possible. A poorer record would increase the chances of better selections in the NHL’s Draft this June.
