Next Tuesday night will feature the NHL clash between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Islanders, teams that have maintained as two of the strongest in the Eastern Conference. However, their current ups and downs have taken them down to the seventh and eighth spots in the standings, so this game could be expected to be one of the most stressful of the regular season.
With this goal in mind, the New Jersey Devils should try to improve their offensive performance, as they were only able to score more than two goals in one of their last five games. Despite that disappointing performance, the bookies’ odds have made them favorites in this game, but it cannot be forgotten that they lost their first regular season series game against the Islanders in overtime (3-2).
As for the New York Islanders, this team can be categorized as one of the greatest outsiders of the season in the Eastern Conference, as not many people were expecting to have them in playoff spots at this point of the regular season. Nevertheless, they currently have a three-game losing streak that could make them lose all the progress made throughout the season because there are five teams that are two points behind them.
