Golden Knights vs Ducks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Golden Knights listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Golden Knights have looked great in their games this season with their 10-4-6 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the West. They have been a decent road team too with their 5-1-3 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Ducks have looked great in their games this season with their 13-7-1 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West. They have looked great on home ice too with their 7-2-0 home record this year. The Ducks got off to a really hot start that has put them at the top of the conference, but lately they have been starting to cool off. They are off a loss to the Senators in their last one and they haven't been scoring as many goals lately. They have one of the best offenses in the NHL right now, but they have also been giving up a ton of goals and that will be an issue here with the offense cooling off. The Golden Knights are only 4-3-3 in their last 10 games, but they have won 2 games in a row now and are starting to get hot, off a 4-1 road win over the Mammoth in their last one. Their offense has looked a lot better lately as they have been scoring more goals, and they haven't been giving up nearly as many goals as the Ducks all season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Golden Knights to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“We're not a great starting team, and Utah is. So for us to be even after 10 minutes was a good thing. We're getting better at it, each game we've been in the game quicker, so to speak… It helped getting those two quick goals, obviously that gives us life and takes the crowd out of a little bit.” - Bruce Cassidy after his team’s win against the Mammoth in their game on Thursday.
"He's dangerous. He's dangerous with the puck, he's dangerous off the rush, his play recognition. I think there are other parts of his game, when he's coming up with loose pucks, or he's influencing pucks, he's starting to do more of that." - Joel Quenneville on Sennecke after his team’s loss against the Senators in their game on Thursday.
