New York at New Jersey

New York won its third in a row on Friday as Mathew Barzal had a goal and an assist, and Semyon Varlamov stopped 27 shots for the Islanders, who have won seven of the last nine meetings. Varlamov is likely back in net tonight as Ilya Sorokin still hasn't fully recovered from an upper-body injury. Varlamov has a 2.73 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage with two shutouts this season. New Jersey has allowed 15 goals in its last two games, including a 7-6 overtime loss to Florida on Saturday while blowing a four-goal lead. It will be tough to recover from that debacle while playing on no rest. The Islanders are 37-15 in its last 52 games against teams with losing records, and the Devils are 5-16 playing with no rest (21-47 as home underdogs). Back the Islanders for a Max Play.
