Islanders vs. Devils


Game context
Both the New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils enter the 2026-27 NHL season with divisional implications in the Metropolitan Division, where the first Islanders home game pits them against the Devils. The Devils added forward depth through free-agent signings including Anthony Mantha and re-signed restricted free agents like Arseny Gritsyuk, aiming to build on a young core featuring Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, Jesper Bratt, and Timo Meier. The Islanders focused on roster stability with additions such as Matias Maccelli and depth contracts while addressing prior cap and injury concerns around players like Mathew Barzal. Preseason projections place the Devils as stronger playoff contenders than the Islanders, reflecting differences in recent regular-season form and roster continuity heading into training camp.
