The ninth game for the Islanders against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday, October 29, is a home game at Elmont, Long Island. This game is winnable for the New York Islanders. The Ducks are in seventh place in the Pacific Division and have lost the last two games on this road trip. The Islanders must win this game to keep pace in the dog-eat-dog Metropolitan Division. Below is a preview of tonight’s game.
The Islanders continue to scuffle for goals and are unlikely to score more than four. They are still hurting from Anthony DuClair’s injury. In this case, the Islanders’ defense must be stout, and their goaltending must be stingy. The Islanders are not likely to win many games until their roster gets more talent, but even mediocre teams win games like the one against Anaheim.
