The Vegas Golden Knights and Anaheim Ducks meet Saturday in NHL action at the Honda Center.

The Vegas Golden Knights look for a win after splitting their last six games. The Vegas Golden Knights are averaging 3.1 goals per game and are scoring on 20 percent of their power play opportunities. Max Pacioretty leads Vegas with eight goals, Mark Stone has 12 assists and Shea Theodore has 40 shots on goal. Defensively, the Vegas Golden Knights are allowing 2.1 goals per game and are killing 85.7 percent of their opponents power plays. Robin Lehner has given up 15 goals on 136 shots faced and Marc-Andre Fleury has given up 17 goals on 260 shots.

The Anaheim Ducks need a win to snap a five-game losing streak. The Anaheim Ducks are averaging 1.8 goals per game and are scoring on 7.5 percent of their power play opportunities. Max Comtois leads Anaheim with seven goals, Carter Rowney has six assists and Rickard Rakell has 60 shots on goal. Defensively, the Anaheim Ducks are allowing 2.7 goals per game and are killing 85.4 percent of their opponents power plays. John Gibson has given up 40 goals on 436 shots faced and Ryan Miller has given up 12 goals on 114 shots.

The Golden Knights are 7-2 in their last 9 Saturday games and 35-17 in their last 52 overall. The Ducks are 1-5 in their last 6 home games and 0-5 in their last 5 overall. The under is 6-0 in Golden Knights last 6 overall. The under is 8-3 in Ducks last 11 home games. The Golden Knights are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Anaheim and 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.

The Vegas Golden Knights are had and shoulders the better team here and should be considerable favorites. However, the Anaheim Ducks have been competitive despite their recent losing streak and they’ve hung around with Vegas in the past. In fact, the Ducks shutout the Golden Knights in the last meeting, and four of the last five meetings have been decided by one goal, with two of those contests going to overtime. Give me the Ducks and the PL for insurance.
