New York Islanders
(Θέση13η Div.Ν.9-ΝΠ.1-ΗΠ.6-Η.12 Τερμ.64-80)
They have to fight since the new year. Then they achieved 2/2 victories and seemed to be getting psychology anymore. As I have written other times, it is a (1) good team that if it had not suffered from so many absences would be much higher. They will not have time to enter the playoffs, as their 4 teams are very strong and they have to do a feat, but I think that in the end we will see them the honorable 5th place. Absences are now counted, after a long time, in the palm of one hand. Thus, Aho S. (A.12pm / 2as), Pulock R. (A.12pm / 2pm) will be absent. Palmieri K. (E.25pm / 1g / 6as) & Wahlstrom O. (E.26pm / 8g / 7pm).

New Jersey Devils
(Θέση12η Div.Ν.9-ΝΠ.5-ΗΠ.5-Η.17 Τερμ.105-126)
As we have said before, it is a (1) mediocre team, based mainly on its headquarters. Having collected twenty-one (21) of their thirty-three (33) points. In the last away game they lost relatively hard to the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3. Now they will give the 2nd game in a row away from home, with many and important absences. We start the count. Initially, the three (3) main goalkeepers will be absent! They are: Blackwood M. (T.22 pp. / 89.78% rep.), Bernier J. (T.9 pp. / 89.60% rep.) and Schmid A. (T.3 pcs / 85.60% rep.). Geertsen M. (A.12pcs.) Will also be missing. Hamilton D. (A.35pm / 7g / 13as), Severson D. (A.35pm./5g / 10as), Bratt J. (E.34pm / 10g / 22as), Bastian N. (E.17ps / 4g / 1as), Johnsson A. (E.34 ppm / 9cm / 12pm), Kuokkanen J. (E.34cpm / 5pm / 3pm), Sharangovich Y. and Thompson T. (E.2 pp.). A total of twelve (12) players!
The "Islanders" are a good team with a heavy jersey. Problems have been minimized and they need one (1) decisive victory to show that their position is unfair. The "Devils" are disappearing away from home, especially today when they are coming down "without a goal" and without five (5) key executives. Ace.
