The New York Islanders are heading into their fourth preseason matchup, taking on the New Jersey Devils on Monday night at Prudential Center.

The Islanders are coming off a 5-3 preseason win over the New York Rangers on Saturday night to improve to a 2-1-0 record. JG Pageau, Brock Nelson, Bo Horvat and Cal Clutterbuck (1G, 1A) built a 4-0 lead while Anders Lee (1G, 1A) buried an empty-better to complete a Gordie Howe hat trick.

The Devils are fresh off of a 3-2 OT victory over the Flyers on Saturday to improve to a perfect 4-0 record in preseason play. Erik Haula lit the lamp in the extra frame in the win.

[SI90]

I don’t love Lee with Barzal and Horvat. Hopefully it’s just for this game.

 

[PWJunior]

Lol, Barzal with an easy one.

 

[SI90]

Barzal!! Breakaway goal!! God we’d love for him to be more of a finisher this year on those

 

[IslesCLT]

More of that please, #13!

 

[SI90]

We have the best goalie in the NHL

 

[seafoam]

I like that.

Barzal looked confident, didn’t overthink it, just buried it.

 

[SI90]

Luke Hughes is gonna be a major point producer from the Blue line.

I like that.

Barzal looked confident, didn’t overthink it, just buried it.

Quick and concise. No stupid dekes or going in slow. Went in with speed and picked his spot and sniped it.

 

[PWJunior]

Pretty goal, nice pass from Engvall.

 

[SI90]

Pulock with a sick fake to get that started.

Nice deflection by Brock

 

[The Wahligator]

Pulock has found a new level ever since the CAR series.

 

[IslesCLT]

Fantastic offense there!

 

[scottywiper]

Efficient lol. They're all over us but we're up 2-0.

 

[seafoam]

Brocktober.

Engvall seems primed for a career year.

 

[Big L]

Freakin game blacked out in my area.


bizarrely, found it on MsG+

 

[scottywiper]

Pulock looks set for a huge year. He's doing everything well

 

[seafoam]

I feel bad for Iskhakov, he has to play with Wahlstrom and Kuhlman (who gives me Andreoff/Koivula vibes) tonight.

 

[scottywiper]

Brocktober.

Engvall seems primed for a career year.

Smooth Pierre does make it look easy.

 

[SI90]

Sorokin screened never saw it. Gotta win those defensive zone draws

 

[seafoam]

Smooth Pierre does make it look easy.

He’s so much better than Beauvillier was at controlled zone entries.

 

[IslandersGER]

just tuned in for the Nelson goal. was a nice play by Pulock and Engvy. they're building chemistry, nice

 

[SI90]

I’d like to see Engvall or Fasching with Horvat and Barzal at some point in the regular season

Wally with a nice defensive play on Hughes. First time I’ve noticed him this game so far
