New York Islanders vs Anaheim Ducks prediction

Right when it looked like the New York Islanders were dead in the water, they put together this nice winning streak and made this next month interesting. The Anaheim Ducks have been dead for quite some time and home ice doesn’t help much where they’re 10-22-1 on the season. The Islanders have won 5 straight games against the Ducks and 6 of the last 8 meetings. These are must win games if the Islanders are going to continue to improve their playoff odds. No excuses. Give me the Islanders and the PL to shave down the expensive juice.
