New York at Anaheim

The Anaheim Ducks are off a tough 2-0 loss at home. Failing to score on home ice is not something the Ducks are used to and they usually come back with a focused effort in their next contest. Since December 7, 2010, the Ducks have only been shutout 14 times, but they have bowed their backs to come out swinging in their next game where they are 12-2, and winning by an average score of 3.4 to 2.0, or by 1.4 goals per contest. Meanwhile, the Islanders had to spend a lot of energy in coming back from a two goal third period deficit in their last contest before losing in overtime. The islanders had to pack up for the West Coast after that game, and while it is early in the season, the travel has been tough for this team, especially going coast-to-coast after a tough overtime loss. Play on Anaheim.
