The New York Islanders will take on the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night. The Islanders come into this one winning all 3 games following the Olympic break. New York has been playing great hockey away from home as well. In their last 10 road games, they have won 7 times. The Islanders currently rank 4th in the Eastern Conference in away form with a record of 18-11-3. This winning form is thanks to incredible defense on the season. The Islanders are only giving up 2.74 goals per game and their goaltenders have a combined save percentage of .902, which ranks them 5th in the NHL. The Islanders also lead the league with 8 total shutouts.

As for the Ducks, they are coming off a brutal defeat by the Colorado Avalanche last night. It seemed that they were not able to get their offense together. That is not a good sign when going up against a tough defensive squad like the Islanders. On the season, the Ducks are averaging 3.25 goals per game but giving up 3.49 goals per game. These numbers make it surprising that they currently sit at 5th place in the Western Conference. Most of the issues for the Ducks come on the defensive end of the ice. They have allowed 42 power play goals and rank 24th in penalty kill percentage. Overall, the Islanders’ defense should be a tough match for the Ducks and I believe the better defensive play will lead to some scores. I am taking the Islanders to win.
