This is a brutal stretch for the New York Islanders, playing the fifth game here of a seven game road trip. And they look like a road weary bunch, losing the last two games 5-2 and 3-2. The offense had tallied just 2 goals in three straight games. It is the longest road trip of the season for the New York Islanders. The Islanders rank among the worst teams in the league with 9.78 giveaways per game. That problem sustained itself in the consecutive losses, as New York totaled 20 giveaways the last two games. New Jersey plays best at home and Devils' goalie Cory Schneider is 1-1-1 with a 1.31 GAA against the Islanders in his career. Go with New Jersey.
