Reilly Smith leads Vegas with seven goals, Max Pacioretty has eight assists and Mark Stone has 35 shots on goal.

The Ducks are 8-20 in their last 28 games as a road underdog, 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest and 1-4 in their last 5 road games. The Golden Knights are 23-5 in their last 28 Sunday games, 5-2 in their last 7 games as a favorite and 4-1 in their last 5 vs. Pacific. The over is 8-2 in Ducks last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. The over is 4-1 in Golden Knights last 5 home games. The Ducks are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings. The under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings.
The Vegas Golden Knights have won seven of the eight meetings against the Anaheim Ducks, and they're catching them on the end of a back to back. The Ducks are playing some solid hockey and have been getting after it defensively, but I often blindly back Vegas at home and it's paid off in a big way these last couple of years. The Anaheim Ducks also haven't had much success at all as a road underdog, despite their win last night against Colorado. I'll take Vegas to get the nice home win.
