The Islanders were shut out 4-0 by Edmonton on October 31, and 11 of their 15 games have ended with them at three goals or fewer. They have scored 42 goals and allowed 43, and they sit at 7-6-2, fifth in the Metropolitan Division. New Jersey is 11-5-0 with 56 goals for and 47 against, and it has won seven of its last eight, including Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over St. Louis. New Jersey outshot St. Louis 36-32 in that game. The Devils are 9-0 in games where the opponent scored three goals or fewer. Jack Hughes leads the team with 21 points and has nine over the last five games. Jesper Bratt's overtime winner Thursday ended a nine-game goal drought, and he had six assists across it. New Jersey's totals have run high, with 11 of its 16 games reaching six goals. Four of those 11 came against Colorado twice, Utah and Edmonton, three of the league's highest-scoring offenses. Edmonton, one of the league's two highest-scoring teams, put only 21 shots on New Jersey in a 4-3 shootout loss Tuesday. I'm backing New Jersey on the moneyline and taking the UNDER tonight.
