The New York Islanders haven’t seen the New Jersey Devils since January 24th. Now, normally that wouldn’t be worth mentioning, but in 2021 when the season is 56 games long and you only play seven other teams, not seeing one for 16 games is kind of weird.
The last time these two teams played, the Devils beat the Isles 2-0.
