New Jersey (31-22-6) at NY Islanders (25-28-4) 7:00 pm EST
UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) - The New Jersey Devils have won three of the last 10 Stanley Cups. If they keep up their current pace, they could be headed to a fourth.
The surging Devils skate with the New York Islanders on Thursday in search of their sixth win in eight games behind the play of rejuvenated goaltender Martin Brodeur.
New Jersey is 15-4-1 since the start of 2006, with Brodeur starting every game in that stretch.
The two-time reigning Vezina Trophy winner, who has posted a 1.82 goals-against average this year, made 24 saves and denied all three shootout attempts in Wednesday's 2-1 triumph over Philadelphia.
Viktor Kozlov scored in regulation and netted the only tally of the shootout for the Devils, who have been much better at home this season.
New Jersey has lost three of its last four road games - including a pair of shutout defeats - but does have a chance for its first back-to-back road wins since January 7-19.
New York began its post-Olympic slate with a 5-3 loss to Montreal on Tuesday. Garth Snow struggled in net and was pulled in favor of U.S. Olympian Rick DiPietro, who allowed two goals on nine shots.
Miroslav Satan scored a pair of goals for the Islanders, who are 3-1-1 against the Devils this season.
