Preview
The New York Islanders travel to Anaheim to take on the Ducks on Sunday night. This is the first time these teams face off on the current season.
NEW YORK ISLANDERS
The Islanders have lost their last 2 games and they're 9-15 on the road. New York has a 19-29 record overall and are 6th in the Metropolitan.
Mathew Barzal leads the Islanders with 25 total assists and has 37 points. Brock Nelson has five goals over the last 10 games for New York.
In their last 10 games the Islanders are 3-7, averaging 2.8 goals, five assists, 2.7 penalties and 6.6 penalty minutes while giving up 2.9 goals per game with a .907 save percentage.
ANAHEIM DUCKS
Arizona are coming from a loss against the LA Kings and are 14-13 at home this season. Anaheim is ninth in the Western Conference averaging 2.9 goals per game, led by Troy Terry with 45 total points for the Ducks, 27 goals and 18 assists. Rickard Rakell has six goals and one assist over the last 10 games.
In their last 10 games the Ducks are 4-6, averaging 3 goals, 5.1 assists, four penalties and 9.7 penalty minutes while giving up 3.7 goals per game with an .898 save percentage.
The Ducks have won 5 of their last 6 games against the NY Islanders.
BETTING TRENDS
NY Islanders are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Los Angeles' last 7 games.
Anaheim are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Anaheim's last 6 games.
Prediction
The Isles have been bad on the road winning only the 37% of the games and are 1-10 as road underdogs. On the 2nd game of a back-to-back New York have lost 7 of 9. The Ducks are 12-5 as favorites and have been decent at home. I expect a close game where the home team prevails.
