As good as the Isles are playing, they know they will play against the likes of Steven Stamkos and Ondrej Palat if they hope to come away with another victory after beating the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.

"They're a good team," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said of the Lightning. "This is a good year for them. They've stayed healthy for the most part. It starts in net with [Ben] Bishop as we know. They're gonna score some goals. [We] continue to work on what we need to work on and go down there and try to play 60 minutes of solid hockey again."

Stamkos is coming off a game where he had a hat trick against the Senators. He admitted  to NHL.com that he's still adjusting to life without Martin St. Louis after the former captain was traded to the New York Rangers on March 5. Stamkos now finds himself skating alongside Teddy Purcell and Alex Killorn, which is expected to be one of coach Jon Cooper's combinations Thursday.

"It's different playing without Marty, let's not kid ourselves," Stamkos told the Tampa Bay Times. "When I played with Marty, he was the guy who wanted the puck all the time and I would do anything I could to get the puck in his hands and then tried to get open. ... We were off the rush transition. Now, playing with different guys who have different styles, maybe I've got to not be up ice as much. Maybe it's staying a little lower and getting the puck yourself and coming up the ice."
