Yesterday’s Results for New Jersey Devils vs New York Islanders

AAA'S 10 PUCK LINE PUNISHER >> 13-6 IN MAY!

Analysis: This is a 10* on NYI -1.5 We know who the four playoff teams from the East Division will be (Capitals, Penguins, Bruins, Islanders). This is arguably the toughest division in this year’s realigned NHL. The Islanders have spent a lot of time in first place, so for them to be currently fourth has to be disappointing. Since clinching a playoff spot, they’ve lost two in a row to last place Buffalo. But there's still only a five point gap between them and first and a win today could vault them ahead of Boston (who hosts the Rangers) into third. Beating the Devils shouldn’t be hard. After all, they’ve won five of this season’s six meetings including all four that took place in March. They’ve won 10 of their last 12 against New Jersey. This game is in Uniondale and nobody has suffered fewer losses on home ice than the Isles. They’ve been beaten just six times at home all season, only three of those coming in regulation. Both those numbers are tied for league bests. The Devils are out of it and had lost 10 in a row before winning four of the last five. They are 8-21 against teams with a winning record and 4-10 after a game with four or more goals. Not only will the Islanders win tonight, they’ll do so by at least two goals.
