Jonathan Bernier Likely In For Ducks:

Johnathan Bernier was not on the ice for the Anaheim's optional morning skate Tuesday morning, which suggests to Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register that he'll be starting tonight. Bernier has won three straight starts and has split the last seven games evenly with starter John Gibson.

They Said It:

Jack Capuano on the Isles first meeting with the Ducks this season:
"Looking back at the last time we played them, we played to our identity. We got pucks to the net. Not what they didn't do, but we had 13 shots to their one midway through, almost seven minutes left in the first period. Guys see that, how we have to play and we just have to get back to basics and stay disciplined."
John Tavares on Anthony Beauvillier:
"His ability to make things happen, just with his speed, his creativity with the puck and tenaciousness about him, he seems to be involved in everything. Just makes a lot of really good plays, he's a very smart hockey player. For me, we just want to continue to keep talking to one another, get more of a sense of how we play the game and read and react off one another and create some chances."
Anthony Beauvillier on playing on the top line:
"I was a little nervous when I played the first time with them, but now I know what to expect. I've watched those guys play, you want to be on the top line and now I have the chance tonight. I'll just go out there and have fun tonight."
