New Jersey Devils and Anaheim Ducks head-to-head record
The Anaheim Ducks have won the last two meetings between the Devils and the Ducks, including a decisive 5-1 win on December 18, 2023, and a close 4-3 victory on March 2, 2024. Their last five meetings appear to have been competitive. But historically, the Devils have held their own, capturing three of the previous five games, including a resounding 6-2 triumph in January 2023. Anaheim's poor 8.7% conversion rate and New Jersey's superior power play during this season (29.7%) could tip the scales in the Devils' favor, particularly if they take advantage of their advantage in puck possession in face-offs. However, Lukas Dostal's strong goaltending (with a 2.19 GAA and .936 SV%) and Anaheim's recent achievement against New Jersey might keep this game close and give the Ducks an opportunity to extend their winning streak.
