New Jersey is out for revenge after two one-goal losses to the Islanders this season, including 3-2 in overtime on Nov.10 and 2-1 on Dec. 23. New York has lost five of nine, and it has lost four of six home games against the Devils dating to last season. The Islanders could be without rookie sensation Matthew Schaefer, who has been battling the flu and is listed as day-to-day. Ilya Sorokin will start for New York for the first time since Dec. 19 after dealing with nagging injuries. He lost his previous two starts. Jacob Markstrom is likely for the Devils after stopping 30 of 31 shots in a 4-1 win over Toronto on Saturday to improve to 10-9-1. The Islanders have gone OVER their past two games, including a 7-2 loss to Utah on New Year's Day. Take the Devils on the puckline and the OVER.

New Jersey at New York

December 23, 2025

7:00 PM Eastern

Not only will New York be without Bo Horvat, its leading scorer, but also its top goalie, Ilya Sorokin. Horvat remains out after suffering a lower-body injury against Anaheim on Dec. 11. The Islanders have lost three of four games since Horvat has been out. Sorokin is being rested. New Jersey is in the opposite position regarding its key injuries. Jack Hughes, Timo Meier, and Arseny Gritsyuk have all returned for the Devils. Hughes and Meier lead the Devils in goals with 11. Hughes has 21 points in 18 games. The Devils are much more deadly with Hughes in the lineup. The Devils will be up for this game after losing to Buffalo, 3-1, as a $1.74 home favorite this past Sunday. Even with that loss, the Devils are 3-2 in their last five games with victories against Anaheim, Utah on the road, and Las Vegas on the road. Take The Devils.
