The Islanders have owned the Devils, winning all four games this season. These are great odds that it will happen again. Rick DiPietro has won all three of his starts against New Jersey this season, posting a 1.30 GAA. One of the reasons why the Islanders may have so much success vs. the Devils is that New Jersey has a fairly week offense. New York is 8-2 this season vs. teams that score under 2.6 goals per game. The problem for New Jersey's offense is exacerbated when facing a great power play killing team like New York (NY averages just 12.4% power plays scored against). The Devils are 0-7 this season when facing a team that allows less than 13% power play conversion. New York here.
