New York at New Jersey

The Devils have lost three in a row including one to the Penguins! However, the Islanders are not much better, losing 5 out of their last 7 games. They've dropped the last two in which they got pounded by the Senators (0-6) and the Penguins (1-5). Expect much of the same from the Islanders tonight as they face a hard nose Devils team in New Jersey. New Jersey isn't the best in the league statistically but they are better then the Islanders.

Home teams coming off 2 consecutive losses against division rivals, playing with 2 days rest are 26-7. Two days to rest against the Islanders is more then enough. New Jersey will play tough at home tonight. One star on New Jersey over the New York Islanders.
