Golden Knights vs Ducks Prediction
Vegas comes into this matchup after losing six of their last seven games and they have scored two goals or fewer in three of their last four. The Golden Knights are 13-7-7 on the road this year, while the Ducks are 15-8-1 at home. Anaheim is coming off of a bad loss to Vancouver and they continue to deal with injuries. I do love this Ducks team when healthy, but I think Vegas has a great chance to bounce back here. Take the Golden Knights to win.
