*6* SURE SHOT on Anaheim Ducks.

The Anaheim Ducks are still trying to make up ground since a horrible start to the season. They're win-less over their last two, but they've picked up points in six straight games going 4-0-2, and they're looking good to book a home-win here before going on a four-game road-trip starting at Carolina Monday.

1. New York's Schedule - The Islanders will play their fourth game in six nights here and are coming straight off a 2-1 loss at Los Angeles last night. They're 2-7 in their last nine playing on no days of rest.

2. Anaheim's Improved Offense - The Ducks rank dead last in the league for goals scored, but we've seen massive improvements of late. They've scored three goals or more in in four of their last six games, and former Hart Trophy winner Corey Perry has four goals over his last five contests after going without a goal over the first 11 of the season.

3. X-Factor - The Islanders are have lost four of the last five meetings in Anaheim.
