The Anaheim Ducks had a tough road trip to the East Coast, dropping back-to-back games against the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils. They struggled to score goals, managing just four in their past four games, leading coach Greg Cronin to acknowledge the team’s offensive struggles. Despite improved power play performance, the Ducks still need to find ways to generate more goals.
Forward Troy Terry has been a bright spot for the Ducks, riding a seven-game points streak and nearing his 100th career goal. His chemistry with Leo Carlsson on the power play looks promising, with the duo accounting for the team’s only two power-play goals this season.
The Ducks will face the New York Islanders, who also rank low in power-play conversion, on Tuesday. The Islanders have leaned on goalie Ilya Sorokin for strong performances, with Kyle Palmieri leading the team in scoring. They will be without forward Anthony Duclair, who was placed on long-term injured reserve over the weekend.
Both teams will look to improve their offensive production in their upcoming matchup, with the Islanders making moves to bolster their attack with international free agent signings and bringing back veteran Matt Martin. The Ducks will aim to rebound from their recent losses and secure a much-needed win on the road. The game will take place at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., and will be televised on Channel 13 at 4 p.m. PT.
