NHL *ICE BREAKER*
Play: New York Islanders
Rating: 8*

Both the Anaheim Ducks and the New York Islanders enter this game winless with a pair of losses each on the season. I like the Islanders to be the team to pick up its first win tonight.

Anaheim has fallen in Dallas and Pittsburgh during its season-opening five-game road trip, the most recent a 3-2 loss to the Penguins last night. This will be the Ducks' third game in four nights, and while it's still early on the season this is a pretty tough spot on the road. This will also be the Islanders third game in four nights, but they're at least back home for this contest. The Islanders dropped a 2-1 decision at Washington last night, but they'll have star netminder Jaroslav Halak back in net for this contest. The Islanders are 20-6 in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.
