Las Vegas - Lacing up the skates for a look at the Islanders/Ducks game tonight. The New Yorkers have been playing some exceptional hockey, winning five of the last six and eight of the last 11. Can't say the same about Anaheim. Not only is Shohei Ohtani gone, but the Ducks have lost 11 of the last 12 and there's not enough quack to take down the Islanders.
