New York Islanders Expected to Dominate Matchup Against Struggling New Jersey Devils

The New York Islanders have been on a successful streak, winning six of their last seven games and two out of their last three road games. They have shown strong offensive capabilities, scoring a total of nine goals in their last three games. Their special teams have been particularly effective, converting on over 19 percent of their power play opportunities. On the other hand, the New Jersey Devils have been struggling defensively, allowing a total of 11 goals in their last three games. Despite their proficiency in penalty killing, they have lost three out of their last four games and four consecutive home games. Although they have had some success on special teams, converting over 22 percent of their power play opportunities, the Islanders' solid defensive performance, allowing only seven goals in their last four games, is expected to stifle the Devils' offense. Given these factors, it is advisable to bet on the New York Islanders to cover the money line in this matchup.
