The Ducks have won both previous meetings against the Knights this season, at home by 4-3 and on the road by 4-3 as well, both in overtime, but the Knights have won their four meetings before that.

In this Golden Knights vs Ducks Prediction, the Golden Knights are coming as -125 road favorites. The Knights have more points this season but the Ducks have more wins. The Knights are on the second leg of a back-to-back and have been struggling lately, as they are 1-6 in their last 7 games. The Ducks on the other hand, have back-to-back losses, but they were on the road, and have three consecutive wins at home. The Knights will be going with their backup goalie in this one, who has conceded 14 goals in his last three starts, so I really like the Ducks as home dogs in this spot. Take the Ducks on the moneyline for plus money.
