Devils vs Islanders preview

The Saturday NHL slate includes New Jersey at the Islanders, with New Jersey a -145 moneyline favorite, NYI +1.5 on the spread and a 5.5 total. The last meeting was October 3, 2026, when New Jersey lost 0-6 on the road. New Jersey is 8-2 straight up and 5-5 against the spread over its last 10, while New York is 5-5 straight up and 5-5 against the spread. In the last 10 head-to-head meetings New Jersey is 2-8 straight up and 1-5 against the spread.

New York’s defensive profile is the stronger angle: it allows 2.87 goals per game (6th) and 1.4 power-play points allowed (7th), compared with New Jersey’s 2.94 goals allowed (10th) and 2.06 power-play points allowed (18th). Pace points the other way, as New Jersey ranks 2nd at 57.9 and New York ranks 28th at 52.7. New York also lists Ritchie, Barzal, Romanov, Maccelli and Pulock as unavailable, which matters for any matchup read. On the prop side, Schaefer over 0.5 points is -174 and has cleared in 8 of 10, with a StatsBench projection of 0.9.
