The Devils haven't been as high scoring during their California games. New Jersey has averaged three goals in its last two games playing the Kings and Sharks, two below average defensive teams. The Devils conclude their four-game road trip with this match here at Anaheim, Calif. It is their fourth game in six days. Don't expect New Jersey to push pace. A more conservative approach is likely for the weary Devils playing without rest after beating the Kings, 4-1, Saturday. The Ducks have been looking better defensively, too. They have held their last two opponents, the Red Wings at home and Panthers in Florida, to two goals each. No surprise that Lukas Dostal was in goal for both of those victories. He is Anaheim's best goalie by far with a 2.74 goals against average and a .909 save percentage on the season. Dostal is expected to be in net today. The Ducks held the Devils to two goals at home last season in a 3-2 victory that went UNDER 6.5 goals. There should be fewer than seven goals in this game, too. Take the UNDER.
