Free New Jersey Devils vs. New York Islanders NHL Prediction:
The Islanders have gotten the best of New Jersey in their previous 10 meetings with a 7-3-0 record. The over/under has gone 4-6 throughout the 10-game stretch.
During the span, New York has been able to put the puck in the net for an average of 2.90 goals a night while giving up an average of 2.20 to the Devils.
I like the total on this game staying under five and a half. New Jersey has a tough enough time as it is scoring goals this season. Playing the Islanders in New York with Varlamov in the net isn’t going to make things any easier.
The Islanders aren’t known as high scoring offense. I like them winning at home by two or three goals, but I think the total stays under in the process.
