The Islanders face the Devils tonight, with New Jersey struggling defensively, having conceded 19 goals in three games, while the Isles have been shut out twice recently.
Despite early struggles with goaltending, the Devils are expected to improve with returning players Hughes and Pesce after their minor injuries.
Islanders' Anthony Duclair is estimated to miss 4-6 weeks due to injury, providing some clarity although his timeline resembles a 'day to day' format.
Coaching decisions are leading to strategic plays, as seen with Roy's choice to place Mat Barzal and Bo Horvat on separate power play units to enhance scoring opportunities.
