Anaheim Ducks vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back the Anaheim Ducks, and Vegas should win this Game as the better team. However, the Golden Knights have been sluggish these last couple of weeks, and they’re 1-3-2 on the road this season. The Ducks have seen 3 of their 5 wins come at home, and they have won 3 of the last 4 Games against the Golden Knights. At this price point, I’ll take a shot with the Ducks at home.
