Despite their slow start in front of the goal, Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson has been the leading points contributor for the team so far. He provided four assists in the opening six games of the campaign. Injured Anthony Duclair is a close second with three points this season.
Nico Hischier and Timo Meier have been in good form this season for the Devils scoring 10 points each in the first 10 games. The pair will hope to regain that form and topple the Islanders this Friday.
