New York at Anaheim

This is a long road trip for the last-place NY Islanders, 3,000 miles from home. Nothing has been going well either at home or on the road, on a 0-4-1 run while getting outscored 14-5. They've lost seven of the last eight and have yet to win a road game all season. The Islanders are on a 5-16 run, including seven straight road defeats. New York ranks #21 in goals scored, #27 on the power play, #24 in goals allowed and #23 in penalty killing. Anaheim is playing well, on a 5-2-1 run, ranked #10 in goals allowed. Anaheim has been bolstered by the return of Rickard Rakell, who scored his sixth goal of the season Sunday and has 10 points in 10 games since returning from abdominal surgery. The Ducks are 43-19 against a team with a winning percentage below .400, so grab home ice and play Anaheim.
