New York is off to a 3-1 start after winning its last two games against Boston and New Jersey. The Islanders have been getting great goaltending, allowing just one goal their last three games. Semyon Varlamov stopped 30 shots against the Devils on Thursday while Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers each had a goal and an assist. Varlamov has been near perfect this season with a microscopic 0.33 goals-against average and a .988 save percentage with two shutouts in three games. New York has won six of the last seven meetings, and Scott Wedgewood is expected in net for the Devils as he allowed four goals in his only start. The Islanders are 11-4 the last 15 meetings at New Jersey, and the Devils are 6-20 playing on two days rest and 30-62 as home underdogs. Play the Islanders.
