The New Jersey Devils, now 11-4-0 after a dominant win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, aim to extend their perfect home record against the New York Islanders, who arrive at 7-6-2 with a 3-3-1 road performance. With both teams vying for early divisional positioning, this matchup promises intensity from puck drop.

Sheldon Keefe’s unit boasts a potent attack led by Jack Hughes (10G, 8A) and Dawson Mercer (8G, 7A), supported by Jake Allen’s stellar goaltending. The Islanders, driven by Bo Horvat (11G, 7A) and Mathew Barzal (3G, 9A), hope to leverage their recent form to challenge the Devils’ unbeaten streak at home.
