The New York Islanders handed the New Jersey Devils a second consecutive defeat, routing them 9-0 on Tuesday night.

For sheer entertainment value, the Isles’ scoring spree vs. the Devils has nothing on a legendary night in 1979.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Islanders departed Wednesday for their longest trek of the season with realistic optimism for the next seven games. They also had a seven-game trip in November but the first two “road” games were against the Rangers and Devils so we’ll discount that.

The Isles are 24-15-4 overall; they are 14-8-2 at home and 10-7-2 on the road. New Jersey is 22-19-2 overall; they are 11-8-2 at home and 11-11-0 on the road. The Isles are 14-9-4 against the East (7-5-2 vs. Metropolitan and 7-4-2 vs. Atlantic) and 10-6-0 against the West (4-5-0 vs. Central and 6-1-0 vs. Pacific).

Duclair was acquired by the Blackhawks during the 2017-18 from the Arizona Coyotes. In 23 games with the Blackhawks following the trade, he recorded two goals, six assists, and eight points. His time with the Blackhawks would end during the 2018 NHL off-season after he did not receive a qualifying offer from the Original Six club.
