Evgeni Nabokov has plenty of playoff experience on an Islanders team that doesn't have much. Offensive catalysts John Tavares and Matt Moulson will be making their postseason debuts Wednesday night, but Nabokov has appeared in 80 playoff games during his career. Moulson said Nabokov is "very vocal during games and during practices. He leads us not only with his play but also with his words." Tavares said that the goaltender's "composure and calmness really set a great example for us." Nabokov face a dangerous and deep Pittsburgh team in the postseason and many believe he'll have to stand on his head in impressive fashion for the Islanders to pull off an upset.
