Golden Knights vs Ducks Prediction


The Ducks are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Golden Knights but are 2-3 in their last 5 meetings in Anaheim. Over is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.

In this Golden Knights vs Ducks Prediction, the Golden Knights are coming as -120 road favorites. The Knights bounced back in game three and re-took the home court advantage and the series lead. This was the Ducks’ first home defeat in the postseason, as they had won all three home games against the Oilers in the first round with a combined 16-10 score. I like them in a bounce-back spot today as I highly doubt that they will lose a second straight home game that will bring them in the brink of elimination. Take the Ducks on the moneyline in this one.
