LATE NHL NIGHTCRAWLER (ISLES/DUCKS)
(NHL) NY Islanders vs. Anaheim,
Money Line: -123.00 Anaheim (Home)
Result: Win
The Anaheim Ducks won their season opener 5-4 against Arizona here at Honda Center, but they're just 0-1-1 in two games since. Keep in mind; this is a team that was 29-8-4 at home last season, and I just don't see the Ducks lose three in a row home at the Duck Pond.

The New York Islanders have picked up three points in their last two games, both at home. They lost 5-0 at Columbus in their season opener, and this will be another tough road game.

Anaheim center Ryan Getzlaf made his season debut in Monday's 3-2 SO loss to St. Louis. He looked a bit rusty but got plenty of time on the ice and should be better in this contest. Note that Getzlaf has five goals and 11 points in 14 career meetings with the Isles.

My selection is an 8* play on Anaheim Ducks.
