    The Pittsburgh Penguins admit they have a tendency to get so enamored with their own firepower they forget to do the little things.

    Like, say, play defense.

    Sometimes they can get away with it. Tuesday night wasn't one of those times.

    Frans Nielsen scored twice and the New York Islanders broke a 13-game losing streak in Pittsburgh with a 5-3 win, effectively counterattacking when the Penguins got a little too aggressive.
