The New York Islanders host the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday at UBS Arena in Elmont. The matchup is set to begin at 7:00 PM ET as both clubs continue their 2026-2027 regular season schedules.
Anaheim enters the contest with a 4-3-0 record and is winless in two straight games. The Ducks opened their recent five-game stretch with a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers before earning back-to-back road victories, topping the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 and the Calgary Flames 4-2. Anaheim then dropped consecutive decisions at home, falling 4-2 to Calgary and 4-2 to the Boston Bruins.
New York brings a 4-3-1 record into Tuesday following a 4-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Across their past five contests, the Islanders earned three victories, including a 4-1 result against the Chicago Blackhawks and a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. Their other two games in that span resulted in a 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning and a 2-1 shootout defeat against the Ottawa Senators.
Tuesday marks the first meeting of the regular season between the Ducks and the Islanders. With Anaheim aiming to halt a two-game skid and New York coming off a win, both sides will look to collect two points in the series opener.
