Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USAThe New Jersey Devils looked good in almost all of their preseason games. The game against the Islanders will be their last before the start of the regular season. Obviously, the Devils want to get a win and enter the new season in great spirits. Recently the Devils defeated Washington at home with a score of 4:1. However, in the previous game, they were crushed by the Rangers (2:6). Jonathan Bernier, who was replacing MacKenzie Blackwood in the goalbox, made several mistakes and stopped only 26 out of 32 shots.
New York Islanders

The Devils usually sit back on the defensive, but Barry Trotz's men are familiar with such a style of play. In the last game, the Islanders defeated Philadelphia with a score of 3:0. Cory Schneider had a great game and saved 24 shots.
