The New Jersey Devils (5-4-1) host the New York Islanders (2-2-2) in an in-division rivalry matchup at the Prudential Center on Friday night.

The Isles will be without top forward Anthony Duclair, who suffered a lower-body injury that will sideline him 4–6 weeks. Last time out, the Islanders were defeated by the Detroit Red Wings 1-0 despite suppressing them to just 10 shots.

The Devils suffered a similar fate, out playing the Red Wings in their last game, yet losing 5-3.
