Ducks at Golden Knights tips and predictions

forecast

Ducks 4, Golden Knights 3

Money line

The DUCKS (+230) are worth playing in Sunday's game. Anaheim stunned the Golden Knights (-300) in three of the four meetings last season.

Reimer gives the Ducks a veteran presence as a backup goalie. Hill has been shaky for VGK so far, despite leading the team to two wins. However, the offense had to do much of the heavy lifting.

Puck Line/Against the Spread

The DUCKS +1.5 (-105) are not overpriced if you want insurance, and despite Anaheim's dominance in the series last season, they simply can't roll the dice when it comes to moving the heavy underdogs straight up.

Over/Under

ABOUT 6.5 (+100) is worth playing lightly, so go with a Half-unit game maximum.

The Over has cashed in both games for the Golden Knights so far, averaging 6.0 goals per game (GPG) while allowing 3.5 GPG.

While the Unders were 3-1 in the regular season last season and 7-2 in their last nine meetings, we should set the total high because the Ducks could become stodgy on defense after playing defense -back-to-back situation.
