Ducks Odds & Picks: Anaheim To Bounce Back"},"content":{"rendered":"

Sunday night in Anaheim carries the weight of a potential turning point. The Vegas Golden Knights return to Honda Center with a 2-1 series lead and fresh off a dominant 6-2 dismantling of the Ducks in Game 3, riding Mitch Marner’s first career playoff hat trick like a tidal wave. Vegas comes in as a slight -119 favorite on\u00a0FanDuel<\/a>, with Anaheim sitting at -101; a line that feels almost generous to a Ducks squad that looked lost at home for the first time all postseason.<\/p>\n

vegas golden knights vs. anaheim ducks Pick<\/p>\n

Here is the case for fading Vegas at this price. Anaheim entered Game 3 with a perfect 3-0 record at home this postseason, averaging six goals in those trio of games. While the 6-2 beatdown was ugly, that performance seems unlikely to repeat from my vantage point. Vegas converted at a 21.4% shooting clip on just 28 shots in Game 3 and a number like that isn’t sustainable. The league average shooting percentage in this season’s playoffs is 9.54%, with Vegas’ average around 12.8%, so the Golden Knights essentially got nearly double the expected return on their shots in Game 3. The law of averages in hockey is brutal; goalies make adjustments, defense tightens, and hot shooting nights typically cool off.<\/p>\n

Anaheim generated 33 shots and shot a brutal 6.1%, which tells me the puck was just refusing to go in. When a team snaps north of 30 shots and scores twice, that just seems like a curse from the Hockey Gods. Anaheim’s power play has gone 0-for-11 against Vegas in this series. They were 8-for-16 (50%) against Edmonton in Round 1, so the talent is clearly there, they just need to find it again.\u00a0The wild card is the crease. Quenneville publicly refused to say whether Lukas Dostal will be starting Game 4 after he surrendered three goals on eight shots in Game 3.<\/p>\n

A must-win at home, a team usually sharp at home during these playoffs, I’m taking Anaheim to force a pivotal Game 5.<\/p>\n

Golden Knights vs. Ducks Pick: Ducks ML (-106)<\/p>\n

*Pick made on May 9<\/p>\n

vegas golden knights vs. anaheim ducks Prop Pick<\/p>\n

Cutter Gauthier Anytime Goal Scorer\u00a0(+175 At FanDuel)<\/p>\n

Gauthier put up 41 goals in the regular season and scored in three of six games against Edmonton in the first round, for a total of four goals. He also scored in two of the three regular season meetings against Vegas in the regular season. And yet in Game 3, he was invisible, registering two shots on goal and finishing as a -3. To me, that looks like player who had a bad night in a game where everything went wrong for Anaheim from puck drop.<\/p>\n
