BOTTOM LINE: The New Jersey Devils aim to stop their five-game home losing streak with a victory over the Anaheim Ducks. New Jersey is 17-13-1 overall and 9-5-1 in home games. The Devils have gone 7-1-1 in games decided by a goal.

The scary scene unfolded early in the third period of Anaheim’s comeback road win over the Penguins at PPG Paints Arena.

Trailing the Anaheim Ducks by three goals early and needing a win before a West Coast trip, the Chicago Blackhawks answered the bell and bounced back for a 5-3 victory.

Tonight, December 11, 2025, the Anaheim Ducks, riding a three-game win streak and boasting a potent offense led by Leo Carlsson, face the New York Islanders at UBS Arena. Despite injuries, the Islanders rely on strong defense and Ilya Sorokin's goaltending.

Sitting six games above NHL .500, the Isles are in the thick of the Metropolitan Division race and have the look of a playoff team as we head towards the holidays. Perhaps most encouraging is the fact that the Islanders are sitting in a good spot despite playing the toughest schedule in the NHL this season.
