This is a regional rivalry as the Islanders will take on their neighbor in the New Jersey Devils. These teams have squared off in New Jersey one time this year, and the Devils blanked the Islanders, 2-0. The Devil's look to be in a good place here. They have won six of the last 10 meetings in New Jersey, and only one of those 10 games has seen the Islanders come away with a win by more than a single goal. The Islanders have also averaged just 2.4 goals in the 10 games, and none of them were shutout wins. That will put a lot of pressure on the puckline here as the Devils certainly have a history that says a two-goal loss here is not very likely at all. Make the play on New Jersey on the puckline.
