The New Jersey Devils, currently riding a seven-game home winning streak, have a chance to equal a franchise record on Monday, November 10, 2025, when they face off against the New York Islanders at the Prudential Center in Newark. The game, scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, will be broadcast on ESPN+.
The Devils enter the contest with an 11-4 record, while the Islanders are 7-6-2. This will be the first of four games between the Metropolitan Division rivals this season. Last season, the Devils and Islanders faced off three times, with each game decided by a single goal. The Devils won in overtime on Long Island in November 2024, while the Islanders claimed a 1-0 victory in Newark.
New Jersey's strong start to the season has been fueled by a potent offense, averaging 3.40 goals per game, which ranks 7th in the league. Jack Hughes has been a key contributor, with seven goals and five assists in his last 10 games. Connor Brown has also chipped in with five goals and one assist. Defensively, the Devils have been solid, allowing an average of 2.93 goals per game.
The Islanders, meanwhile, have been a bit more inconsistent, with a +1 scoring differential, having scored 50 goals and conceded 49. Bo Horvat is coming off a two-goal performance against the New York Rangers and has seven goals and five assists in his last 10 games. Mathew Barzal has also been a key playmaker, with three goals and nine assists over that same span.
According to computer projections, the Devils are favored to win by a score of 4-3. The Devils are 3-0-3 in overtime games this season and have won all three of their games decided by one goal. The Islanders are 3-1-0 in games decided by a single goal.
A key factor in the game could be special teams. The Devils boast a strong power play, converting on 25.64% of their opportunities, which ranks 6th in the NHL. Their penalty kill is also among the league's best, at 87.50%. The Islanders' power play has been less effective, at 16.00%, while their penalty kill is at 78.72%.
The Devils will need to continue their strong home play and capitalize on their power-play chances to secure a victory and match the franchise record. However, the Islanders, fresh off a dominant win against the Rangers, will be looking to play spoiler. The game promises to be a tight-checking, hard-fought battle between two division rivals.
