New Jersey at New York

New Jersey has played three games this season and each has been a 4-3 score with the Devils winning one of them and another was a shootout loss to Arizona. The Devils had three days off to prepare for the Islanders, who have won two in a row, including 1-0 over Arizona, which managed only 14 shots on goal on Tuesday night. Akira Schmid could get the nod in net for New Jersey and he has a 2.77 goals-against average and .909 save percentage in his one start this season. Ilya Sorokin likely will start his third consecutive game for New York. The Islanders are 1-5 after allowing two or fewer goals their previous game and 2-5 versus Metropolitan Division opponents dating to the 2022-23 season. New Jersey had high hopes coming into the season with three of the best forwards in the league. Take the Devils.
