The Ducks have won five of the past six games in November while averaging 4.7 goals per game in the span. It's all about the Over, going 8-1 in the past nine contests -- although the Ducks suffered a 4-2 loss against the Nashville Predators at home as the Under (6.5) just came through. Laurent Brossoit had been starting, but he is back in the minors after struggling badly. It looks like Lukas Dostal or Ville Husso will be back in net, healthy to start again.
The Islanders posted a 5-2 win in Los Angeles on Thursday, and they have points in three in a row. However, they are just 1-2-2 in the past five outings, while New York has allowed three or more goals in eight of the past nine. We'll take the Over based on Anaheim's giving ways and New York's inability to keep the puck out of its own net.
Over 6.5 (-110) at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
