Who will WIN this matchup?
New York Islanders (5-8-4)
@ Anaheim Ducks (9-7-3)
Starting Goalies:
Thomas Greiss(NYI): Confirmed
Jonathan Bernier(ANA): Likely
• Perhaps a trip to the West Coast can shake the New York Islanders from their doldrums, but three games in four nights – starting with a contest against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday – seems to be a tall task. New York will be well-rested, though, as it hasn’t played since a 3-2 setback in overtime against Pittsburgh on Friday – its seventh loss in eight games (1-3-4).
• Captain John Tavares (13 points) and Brock Nelson (12) share the team lead with five goals apiece and are the only players with more than eight points. Jaroslav Halak (3-5-4, 3.08 goals-against average, .905 save percentage) made his seventh straight start Friday despite New York continuing to carry three goaltenders with Thomas Greiss (2-3-0, 2.71, .909) and Jean-Francois Berube, who hasn’t played this season. The Islanders won 3-2 in overtime Oct. 16 on Josh Bailey’s goal for their third straight victory over the Ducks, and have won two in a row in Anaheim.
• 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 and a contract dispute. Rakell sees time on the top line with captain Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry while also working on the No. 3 unit as Randy Carlyle continues to use him wherever he needs an offense boost. Ryan Kesler (team-high eight goals), Jakob Silfverberg (six) and Andrew Cogliano (five) comprise Anaheim’s highest-scoring line with Kesler recording seven of his scores in 10 November games.
• New York D Dennis Seidenberg (four goals, eight points, club-best plus-10 rating) resumed skating but isn’t close to returning due to a broken jaw.
• Ducks LW Joseph Cramarossa and D Clayton Stoner missed Sunday’s game with lower-body injuries. D Shea Theodore was recalled from San Diego of the AHL on Sunday, but was scratched when D Kevin Bieksa shook off an illness to remain in the lineup.
• The Islanders lost their last five games when scoring two or fewer goals in their previous contest, while Anaheim won six such games in a row.
