Leo Carlsson has been a game-changer for the Ducks against Vegas, and he’ll leave his mark tonight.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Added a goal scorer prediction + who will win prediction.<\/p>\n

The Anaheim Ducks are in do-or-die mode, needing to beat the Vegas Golden Knights to keep their season alive.<\/p>\n

My Golden Knights vs. Ducks predictions expect them to do just that, with Leo Carlsson leading the charge.<\/p>\n

Let’s break down my NHL picks<\/a> for Thursday, May 14.<\/p>\n

Golden Knights vs Ducks Game 6 prediction today
\nWho will win Golden Knights vs Ducks Game 6?<\/p>\n

Ducks: The Ducks have performed very well on home ice during the playoffs, winning four of five games while controlling 55% of the expected goals across all situations. They keep their season alive for at least one more game.<\/p>\n

Golden Knights vs Ducks best bet: Leo Carlsson Over 0.5 points (-180)<\/p>\n

The Anaheim Ducks<\/a> have tilted the ice during Leo Carlsson’s<\/a> 5-on-5 minutes, winning the shot attempt battle 70-43 and out-chancing the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> 34-18.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 5-on-5 profile is very good, and that’s especially important given that there are often fewer penalties called in elimination games. Refs want to keep things at full-strength and ‘let the players decide’, which sets up well given how well Carlsson has played at 5-on-5.<\/p>\n

Carlsson is also more productive on home soil. Playoffs included, he has averaged 1.1 points per game and hit the scoresheet in 70% of his appearances since the calendar flipped to 2026.<\/p>\n

Jackson LaCombe<\/a> has played a whopping 130 minutes through five games, logging more ice time than any player in this series. Joel Quenneville is going to ride his star defenseman into the ground in a do-or-die game, which only enhances his already strong chances of production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ducks are going to push and be especially aggressive offensively with their season on the line. That will lead to plenty of blocked shot opportunities for Shea Theodore<\/a>, who leads the Golden Knights in ice time and has averaged 3.1 blocks over the last nine games.<\/p>\n

Leo Carlsson Over 0.5 points
\nJackson LaCombe Over 0.5 assists
\nShea Theodore Over 1.5 blocked shots<\/p>\n

Golden Knights vs Ducks Game 6 goal scorer pick
\nCutter Gauthier (+180)<\/p>\n

Cutter Gauthier<\/a> leads the series in shot attempts, shots on goal, scoring chances, and rebounds created.<\/p>\n

He is the most prolific goal scorer in the series, and he is getting more looks than anybody. I like his odds of breaking through in Game 6.<\/p>\n
