In the lead-up to the Anaheim Ducks' home game against the New Jersey Devils, the Ducks are coming off a 6-4 victory against the San Jose Sharks, with Alex Killorn contributing to the 3-1 lead before the final score. The Ducks, facing a quick turnaround, have a record of 2-5-0 in the second game of back-to-backs this season. On the Devils' side, Brendan Smith, who was absent from practice due to minor injuries from the previous game, is expected to play after taking a day off and participating in the morning skate. Coach Lindy Ruff seemed pretty confident in Smith's participation. The Devils, with a league-leading 20 comeback wins this season, plan to dress an extra defenseman for warmups as a precaution. Both teams are preparing for their upcoming matchup, with the Devils aiming to continue their winning strategy by going 11/7 in their lineup.
Straight back to the winning lineup for #NJDevils who will go 11/7 once again. Here’s your lineup from warmups ahead of facing the Anaheim Ducks: https://t.co/voZuXkjYEw

Lindy Ruff seemed pretty confident that Brendan Smith will be able to play tonight after taking yesterday off and skating this morning. The plan will be to dress an extra defensemen for warmups just in case he isn’t able to go. #NJDevils
#Avs are on the ice for practice in Nashville. Cale Makar appears to be the only player absent.
Final: Ducks 6, Sharks 4. Goals from Carlsson, Leason, Killorn, Vatrano, Henrique and Lundeström. Quick turnaround for Anaheim with a home game tomorrow against the Devils. #FlyTogether
Alex Killorn, 3-1 Ducks. Between the wickets. Three goals on 10 shots for the Ducks. Sharks wouldn't put Chrona in tonight, right?
Alex Killorn makes it 3-1 Ducks. BRB @CurtisPashelka & I are going on a beer run.
Brendan Smith is a little banged up from the game in San Jose, so he didn’t skate today. Lindy Ruff says they’ll see how he’s feeling tomorrow before the Anaheim game to determine his availability #NJDevils
Here’s your #NJDevils practice lines and pairings today in Anaheim. Nothing particularly different than the game in San Jose. Smith not skating today. https://t.co/N8KoNiOFLo
Only Brendan Smith is missing from today's #NJDevils practice in Anaheim. Will get an update after practice is over.
