New York Islanders vs. New Jersey Devils [Game Thread #31]

Don't look now, but the Isles enter tonight one point behind the Smurfs in the Metropolitan Division standings.

Thomas Greiss starts in goal. Cal Clutterbuck is back in the lineup after missing last night to rest his injury. Steve Bernier is in for Ryan Strome, evidently precautionary after he left last night's game with an upper body injury.

The Devils meanwhile are without Adam Henrique and Travis Zajac.

This is an early start (you can still get your FIG picks in here before 5 p.m. game time) coming after playing in Columbus last night.

So we'll see how this goes.

Islanders (17-8-5, 3rd/Metro) vs. Devils (15-10-4, 4th/Metro)
