Leo Carlsson has not been getting rewarded for his great play of late, but our NHL betting picks expect that to change on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Leo Carlsson has been a model of consistency for the Anaheim Ducks, only going two or more straight games without a point on two occasions since early January.<\/p>\n

After a quiet showing in Game 4, my Ducks vs. Golden Knights predictions expect the young star to get back on the score sheet Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at my NHL picks<\/a> for May 12.<\/p>\n

Ducks vs Golden Knights Game 5 prediction
\nDucks vs Golden Knights best bet: Leo Carlsson Over 0.5 points\u00a0(-170)<\/p>\n

The Anaheim Ducks<\/a> have created plenty of opportunities with Leo Carlsson<\/a> on the ice, generating 94 shot attempts, 50 scoring chances, and 4.45 expected goals. That has translated to two goals.<\/p>\n

Carlsson is a career 14.7% shooter \u2014 and plays with great players at 5-on-5 and on the power play \u2014 so there\u2019s no reason to expect these looks to continue being wasted.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s especially true facing Carter Hart, who posted an .891 SV% and allowed 4.2 more goals than expected during the regular season.<\/p>\n

Look for Carlsson, who has been held pointless in consecutive games just twice over the last four months, to get back on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n

Troy Terry<\/a> flies under the radar because of all Anaheim\u2019s terrific young players, but he quietly sits tied for the team lead in points during the playoffs. He leads their forwards in assists, but also trails only Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier in shots.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a dual threat weapon, and one strongly correlated to Carlsson.<\/p>\n

Shea Theodore<\/a> has blocked multiple shots in eight of 10 playoff games during this run, and has averaged 2.9 along the way. The Ducks play at a fast pace and generate a lot of volume, which helps increase his floor and ceiling.<\/p>\n

Ducks vs Golden Knights SGP<\/p>\n

Leo Carlsson Over 0.5 points

\nShea Theodore Over 1.5 blocked shots<\/p>\n
