Anaheim Ducks vs New York Islanders Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/11/25

The Anaheim Ducks and New York Islanders are both coming off shootout wins on Tuesday night, and are now set to meet on Thursday at UBS Arena. Anaheim orchestrated an against-all-odds comeback against Pittsburgh, scoring in the final second of regulation to force overtime before taking the shootout. The Ducks continue to score goals in bunches, and currently rank 2nd in the NHL averaging 3.57 goals per game so far this season. New York goaltender Ilya Sorokin has improved after a slow start, but he has had some issues on home ice. Sorokin’s save percentage dips from .924 on the road to .895 at home. Furthermore, his goals-against average jumps from 2.17 to 2.93. Look for Anaheim to come out firing.

Ville Husso has filled in nicely for the injured Lukas Dostal in net for Anaheim, but he could have his hands full in this matchup. Husso has started 5 consecutive games, and is expected to get the starting nod again in this one. He’s won 3 straight starts, but still owns a save percentage of .893 on the season. Furthermore, the Anaheim defense hasn’t been great, ranking 27th in the NHL allowing 3.53 goals per game on the road. The Islanders are more than capable of taking advantage. Look to the over.
