Eastern Conference action in the NHL is set for Nov 10, as the in-form New Jersey Devils host the New York Islanders. Find our picks here.

| New York Islanders | +138 |
The New Jersey Devils have been one of the standout teams in the NHL so far this season, winning eleven of their opening 15 games.
The Devils have also maintained their sequence over their last ten, winning on seven occasions, which includes victories in their previous two.
They should come into this game in good form after a shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins over the weekend. Arseni Gritsyuk scored their only goal in regulation time.
Positives can be taken from the New York Islanders' start to the new season. They have won seven of their opening 15 games, and they are among the highest scorers in the Metropolitan Division.
However, they have also allowed the most goals of any team in the division. Despite that, they will be chasing back-to-back wins following a victory over the New York Rangers.
The Islanders landed a dominant 5-0 win in that outing, with Bo Horvat scoring twice.
| TOTAL | Islanders | Devils | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 288 | 156 | 110 | - |
| GOALS | 1777 | 956 | 821 |
The Devils have a positive strike-rate against the Islanders in home games against their opponents, winning 44% of the previous encounters.
Therefore, it could be challenging to overlook the prospect of a home victory when making Islanders vs. Devils picks on Monday evening.
