The New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders will face each other for the first time this season on Thursday night.
Both teams come into this game in pretty good shape. The Devils, who will host the Islanders at the Prudential Center, are coming off a dominant 7-3 win against the best team in the league, the Florida Panthers.
It marked their second-straight win, one that they will hope to build on in Thursday’s game.
The Devils destroyed the Panthers without their best player, Dougie Hamilton, but the good news is that he will make his return Thursday after missing two-straight games with an injury.
