Anaheim Ducks vs Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Vegas Golden Knights
The Golden Knights are just 60 minutes away from reaching the Western Conference Finals, where they’d face either the Colorado Avalanche or the Minnesota Wild.
Despite being outshot 36-32, Vegas came through and secured a 3-2 victory in Game 5 thanks to the winning goal from Pavel Dorofeyev.
The series now shifts to Anaheim for Game 6, and while the Ducks secured the win in the previous meeting at this venue, it’s difficult to see them holding off the Golden Knights again.

Anaheim look gassed right now, and given their defensive struggles (3.36 goals allowed per game), they might not have enough left to battle for another 60 minutes on a quick turnaround.
Perhaps the biggest difference so far in the series has been the quality of goaltending. Carter Hart has been impressive for the Golden Knights and has a 2.49 GAA after stopping 34 of 36 shots in Game 5. The Ducks are expected to continue to rely on Lukas Dostal, but his numbers are nowhere near as good. He has a 3.36 GAA and an .878 save percentage across 11 playoff starts.

Ultimately, the Golden Knights are stronger on both ends of the ice. They average more goals per game (3.55 to 3.45), concede fewer (2.73 to Anaheim’s 3.36) and have been more effective in penalty killing, with an 87.9% success rate compared to the Ducks’ 70.4%.
All the little details point to a Vegas win, which would also hand them the series victory and a spot in the West Finals.
Anaheim Ducks vs Vegas Golden Knights Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Mitch Marner over 1.5 points
Mitch Marner failed to step up when the Golden Knights needed him the most in Game 5, going pointless and racking up just one shot on goal in 20:52 TOI. However, the star forward has yet to record back-to-back pointless performances in the current playoff run, so he has a good chance of bouncing back.
Marner has recorded at least two points in four of his last six playoff appearances, meaning he’s a good bet to be heavily involved on offence in this pivotal clash. With a team-high 16 points in the current postseason run, he’s well positioned to make an impact.
Anaheim Ducks vs Vegas Golden Knights Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 4.5 goals + Cutter Gauthier over 0.5 points + Jack Eichel over 0.5 assists
Game 5 produced five total goals, including overtime, and that has now been the case in each of the last three head-to-head meetings. Considering that both teams rely heavily on offence instead of defence, a low-scoring clash feels unlikely.
Two elite playmakers should be heavily involved and emerge as productive threats. Anaheim will likely rely on Cutter Gauthier, as the star winger leads the squad with 12 points in the playoffs despite not topping in either goals (four) or assists (eight).
ROOKIE SENNECKE! 🔥
Tanssi jatkuu tällä tulokkaalla. Taas maali ja tärkeä 0-1 osuma Las Vegasin hornankattilassa.
Haluamme antaa tässä maalissa huomiota Ducksin supertähti Cutter Gauthieriin. Sitä hän on jo nyt. Hurja kevät.#NHLfi pic.twitter.com/Wg8UV7GRAR

On the other side, the Golden Knights should continue to run their offence through Jack Eichel. Even though Marner leads Vegas in scoring, Eichel has been outstanding as a playmaker with a team-high 14 assists in just 11 games.
Add in 31 shots, and he looks like the driving force of the Golden Knights’ offence in their quest for their series-clinching win.

The Ducks are not expected to make any changes to their injury list or significantly alter their lineup ahead of this win-or-go-home clash in front of their fans. They’ll continue to monitor Radko Gudas, Ryan Poehling, and Drew Helleson, all of whom are listed as day-to-day.
Vegas Golden Knights Team News
The Golden Knights aren’t missing many players ahead of this matchup, and since none of their injured men are expected to return before the end of the series, the changes to the lineup should be minimal. The main question mark remains Mark Stone, as he’s day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
