The Islanders are back in action, on the road in Newark, to face a Devils team that surprisingly enters the night three points behind them.
Just as the Isles deal with accumulating injuries — Sebastian Aho joined Adam Pelech on IR — they also have some illnesses: Simon Holmstrom and Cal Clutterbuck missed yesterday’s practice, dealing with unspecified illnesses.
This is the second meeting, with the first one being that high-wire 5-4 OT loss in the third game of the season. Leave your First Islanders Goal picks here.
- While Holmstrom and Clutterbuck missed practice, Matt Martin was back with the regular group.
