Game Preview
An immediate chance to bounce back to winning ways is set for the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center on Wednesday. The Ducks had enjoyed an excellent winning sequence, but they were outplayed in their latest outing, losing 5-1 against the Colorado Avalanche.
It was a disappointing evening for the Ducks, and the odds would have been stacked against them after conceding twice in the opening period.
Defensively, they were unreliable in the loss, but this week’s clash with the Islanders presents an opportunity to respond. Cutter Gauthier was the only offensive player to make his mark in the heavy defeat, scoring the Ducks only goal in the second frame.
However, the Islanders will likely come into this road game with no fear after climbing the Metropolitan Division after winning five on the bounce. Over their last two, they have recorded eight wins and have suffered just two defeats in regulation.
The Islanders will also be well-rested after playing their most recent game over the weekend, beating the Florida Panthers 5-4 in a thriller.
Matthew Schaefer was a strong performer in that win, scoring twice and adding one assist. Other goals in the attacking performance were scored by Bo Horvat, Carson Soucy, and Anders Lee.
New York Islanders vs. Anaheim Ducks Picks
The fact that the Ducks play on back-to-back nights against a well-rested and in-form rival is a concern. Due to this, the main selection is for the Islanders to land a win on the road.
