Ducks looking to end scoring woes vs. struggling Islanders

Feb 5, 2008 - 1:59 PM Anaheim (27-22-7) at Ny Islanders (24-23-6) 7:00 pm EST

UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) - It's been a while since the Anaheim Ducks have scored a goal. It's been even longer since they celebrated a win.

The Ducks will try to end a scoring drought of more than 150 minutes and snap a six-game losing streak when they visit the New York Islanders on Tuesday.

Since Teemu Selanne announced he was returning to the NHL on January 28, the Anaheim offense has managed just one goal over its past three contests. The Ducks have been shut out in their previous two contests against the St. Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Tuesday's game marks Anaheim's fifth stop on its current nine-game road trip. The Ducks, who have played just one home game since January 15, will not play another game at "The Pond" until February 15.

While the Islanders have managed to get a few goals recently, they have struggled as well. The club has managed just five tallies over their current four-game skid.

New York has lost six of its past seven contests and fallen into the cellar of the Atlantic Division.

Mike Comrie leads the team with 37 points, but has no goals and just two assists over the previous nine games.
