Evgeni Nabokov has been confirmed as the Islanders' starting goaltender for Game 6. "I (have) confidence in Nabokov to go with him. He'll start. There's no surprise. Just move along with him," coach Jack Capuano said. "He's a veteran guy. He's probably harder on himself than anyone else. He knows how he has to play." Nabokov hasn't been able to slow Pittsburgh's offensive attack the series. He has a 4.69 goals-against average and an .847 save percentage in the series and was pulled in Games 1 and 5.
