The Ducks (4-5-0) continue their East Coast road trip as they head to New Jersey to take on the Devils (5-4-0).<\/p>\n
Puck drop is set for 4 p.m. PT and will be broadcast Prime Video and FOXLA+.<\/p>\n
Anaheim remains in search of its first win in four games after falling to the Islanders, 3-2, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
While the team had a lead after the first period in their first seven games, they\u2019ve started much slower in the contests against the Rangers and Islanders. In fact, they\u2019ve played from behind in both games that started this road trip.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get something out of this trip,\u201d head coach Joel Quenneville said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to stop this little trend we\u2019re on right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you take positives out of the game but at the end of the day, you\u2019ve got to win a hockey game,\u201d Frank Vatrano said. \u201cIt was a great effort by the guys but we\u2019ve got to find a way to get two points. Obviously, it\u2019s tough when you start from behind. This is a league where you\u2019ve got to play with a lead and learn how to play with it. I think that\u2019s where we need to start, getting off to better starts.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for tonight, Quenneville said it\u2019s going to take a full team effort to leave the Prudential Center with a win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think that everybody can give more,\u201d Q said. \u201cWhen you get in one of these situations where it gets your attention, this is a get-your-attention game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Devils come into tonight fresh off a 4-3 win over the Avs on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Jack Hughes tops the team in assists (7) and points (9) while Nico Hischier and Arseny Gritsyuk lead the club in goals with four each.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey’re a fast, skilled team and they play hard, too,\u201d Jackson LaCombe said of the Devils. \u201cThey\u2019re really good offensively and we’ve got to be ready for that hustle from them. We’ve got some good players up front too, so we’ve just got to be careful with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve got to be sharper, obviously, in the last few games and better on our own end, and I think that will help us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ducks (4-5-0) continue their East Coast road trip as they head to New Jersey to take on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-504563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
