Islanders vs. New Jersey: NHL Match Prediction
On November 10, the Islanders return to New York, where they will play against New Jersey. The Devils have gained great momentum and have lost only one game since the end of October. The Isles continue to try to return to the top eight in the East, but the hosts clearly lack scoring. At the same time, Patrick Roy charges are doing well on defense and often win thanks to their reliability on their half of the court. Will the Islanders be able to take points in the match against the Devils? Find out from our prediction for the confrontation
Command Analysis
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders have not demonstrated a good offensive game since the first days of the regular season and have shown rather weak results this fall. The New York club has won only three victories in regulation time, having played 14 matches. Now the hosts occupy the ninth line in the East, having scored 14 points. The Islanders have gained good form and have won three of the previous four matches. Patrick Roy charges won in Buffalo (4:3, OT), but immediately after that they were routed by the Rangers in the derby (2:5). The Islanders achieved success in the home game against Pittsburgh (4:3, B), and in the last match they finished off Ottawa in Canada (4:2). The Isles played a strong second period and the beginning of the third 20 minutes, securing a comfortable advantage.
The Islanders average only 2.57 goals per game, ranking them among the worst teams in the conference. Bo Horvat has become the hosts' leader in points. The Canadian forward has 12 points (5+7) and is among the top 70 offensive players in the NHL.
The hosts are not always bad at defense. The goalie duo, consisting entirely of Russians, is gradually getting into shape. Ilya Sorokin became the club number one against the backdrop of Semyon Varlamov weak play. In total, the Isles' goalies reflected only 89.6% of shots into their possessions.

New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey started the season earlier than others in October and has played 16 games to date, which is more than all other teams in the conference. The Devils are in third place in the East with 20 points and have generally shown a pretty good game this fall. Sheldon Keefe men had a bad second half of October, but then recovered and are now on a streak of four wins in five games. At the end of last month, the Devils picked up the pace again and scored four points on the road. The visitors crushed Vancouver (6:0), lost in Calgary (0:3), and then swept Edmonton (3:0). On November 8, Nico Hischier team played in Newark and confidently beat Montreal (5:3).
In the last five games, New Jersey has made 20 accurate shots and missed only eight times. The Devils' leading scorer is Jesper Bratt, who has scored five points in the previous two games. Shved has made 18 effective actions this season and is in 14th place on the list of the league top scorers.
Veterans Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen are the last line of defense and doing a pretty good job of it. The Newark goalies have stopped 89.8 percent of the shots they face and have allowed just 45 goals in 16 starts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nathan Bastian and Curtis Lazarus will not play in New York.
Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors earn 9.38 penalty minutes per game.
New Jersey gets a lot of penalties, but plays well when shorthanded.
- The Devils are averaging 15 blocked shots per game.
Sheldon Keefe men are trying their best to help their goalies and are blocking a lot of shots.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
Five of the Islanders' previous six games have had a scoreless first period.
2.02Bet 2nd period: guests will score
New Jersey scores against New York in second period for 10 games
1.40Tip and bets
The Islanders have won four of their previous five games, but there are still questions about the hosts' offense. Patrick Roy charges lack stability, often scoring very little or not at all. New Jersey has regained momentum and continues to be among the best clubs in the conference. The Devils cannot be slowed down, because in that case the visitors will quickly lose their positions among the leaders of the East. The teams recently met each other in Newark, and then the Islanders were able to take two points. We believe that the Devils will take revenge. We suggest betting on a victory for the second team with a zero handicap.
Prediction - New Jersey win with Asian handicap (0) for 1.63
Total Bet
The Islanders play defensive and defensive hockey, often not scoring much. New Jersey has found excellent form and has allowed only eight goals in its last five starts. In the last meeting between the opponents, six goals were scored in regulation time. We do not think that the teams will be able to score many goals in New York.
We bet on total under pucks with odds of 1.82
Bet on individual total
The Devils are in great shape and have conceded very few goals in early November. Veterans Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen have been great at the back and can give any goalie in the NHL a run for their money. The home team often has big problems converting chances. We believe that the visitors' defense will be able to withstand the pressure from the Isles.
We take the Islanders individual total under 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.00
