Anaheim Ducks vs. New York Islanders Prediction

I’m on the over here. These are two teams in great form this season and while I’m not a huge fan of going against the goaltending on both sides, it’s hard to ignore how both teams are finding the back of the net so far this season. I think this is a highly-entertaining game, so give me the over in this one.
