NEW JERSEY DEVILS (5-4-1) vs. DUCKS (3-3-1)
New Jersey hosts the Anaheim Ducks in a Sunday night matchup, the final home game before a three-game road trip to Western Canada.

The New Jersey Devils are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the New York Islanders and a stretch of nine games in 16 days, and a third game in four nights. The club is currently at its healthiest all year, with the recent return of Brett Pesce and Luke Hughes. Both defensemen have suited up in the last two games.

The Devils hope to improve their home record, where they have gone 2-2-2 to date, before they head out for their longest road trip of the season, beginning Wednesday in Vancouver. The Devils are 3-2-0 on the road this season.

Nico Hischier has five goals and six points in his past four games. His eight goals lead New Jersey and is tied for the lead in points (11) with Jesper Bratt.

The Ducks lost to the New York Rangers, 2-1, on Saturday night, having returned to game action after a three-day break. The Ducks are 3-3-1 this early season and are 1-2-1 on the road.

Goaltender Lukas Dostal has been carrying the majority of the load in net, playing six of their seven games, including Saturday night’s tilt against the Rangers. Dostal is 3-3-1. Backup goaltender James Reimer has played just one game, a loss to the Golden Knights on Oct. 13. Reimer joined the club via waivers from Buffalo in mid-October, shortly after the Sabres returned back from the Global Series in Prague.

Troy Terry has four goals in the past six games. He currently leads the Ducks in both goals and points (6).

INJURIES
Devils
: Hatakka (shoulder), Vilen (upper-body).

Ducks: Gibson (abdomen), Sennecke (foot fracture), Suchanek (ruptured ACL)

Devils vs Ducks games are always interesting for some reason. Maybe it's because they don't play each other much and they have some history with the 2003 Cup Finals but these games are usually very back and forth from what I remember the last 10 plus years. The wins are big against them and the losses always seem to be embarassing if that makes any sense.

essentially going 11-6 with 2 of the d-man working their way back from injury is a choice. whatever hopefully they can get the w anyway - ducks on a b2b so Dostal probably not starting so no excuse for this one

Prepare to be robbed extensively by Dostal who has been nothing short of phenomenal this season thus far.

NM he played yesterday. Hopefully his voodoo is no good from the bench. B2B voodoo instead.
Is he actually supposed to be playing tonight? The Ducks are really in ''Play a goalie two nights in a row'' mode?

Is that Bastian calling Keefe to change his mind?
MacDermid makes me long for Bastian.

At least scratch Steve Austin instead.
