The New Jersey Devils (9-3-0) are set to face the Anaheim Ducks (6-3-1) in a Día de Muertos celebration at Honda Center, with puck drop scheduled for 5 p.m. PT. The Devils, coming off a 4-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings where Jacob Markstrom made 43 saves, aim to secure a second consecutive victory and improve their road record. They have struggled with officiating calls, being tied for the second-least power play opportunities in the league, which has impacted their ability to generate sustained possession. Conversely, the Ducks are riding a four-win streak in their last five games, fueled by strong performances from players like Leo Carlsson, who tallied four points in their recent 5-2 victory over Detroit, and Troy Terry. Anaheim's success has been partly due to fortunate puck luck at even strength, despite average possession numbers. Injuries to Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas and others may give the Devils an advantage, especially in the bottom six. The game emphasizes the importance of special teams and disciplined play, with the Devils needing their fourth line to step up against a weaker Ducks bottom six. Starting goalies will be Jake Allen for New Jersey and Lukas Dostal for Anaheim, with Dostal likely to play due to recent game schedules. The matchup is also notable for its cultural celebration, honoring Hispanic heritage month, and featuring community activations and a Día de Muertos-themed auction benefiting Latino Health Access.
