There\u2019s been no sophomore slump for Cutter Gauthier, who leads the Anaheim Ducks in goals and points through 54 games.<\/p>\n
Ahead of tonight’s matchup against Las Vegas, my Golden Knights vs. Ducks predictions see Gauthier making his mark against a team struggling to keep the puck out.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s dive deeper into my NHL picks<\/a> for Sunday, February 1.<\/p>\n Golden Knights vs Ducks prediction<\/p>\n Golden Knights vs Ducks best bet: Cutter Gauthier Over 0.5 points (-150)<\/p>\n The Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> may lead the Pacific Division, but they\u2019re far from flawless \u2014 particularly in net.<\/p>\n Vegas currently ranks 28th in team save percentage and has struggled mightily to keep the puck out of its net. The Golden Knights had hoped goaltender Carter Hart<\/a> would provide some stability, but he struggled mightily before getting injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n Adin Hill<\/a> has only further exposed those issues. Since rejoining the team, he\u2019s endured a miserable stretch, allowing 21 goals over five starts.<\/p>\n Put it all together, and the Golden Knights have surrendered 3.4 goals per game over their last 20 contests and 3.5 over their past 10.\u00a0Now they head into a road back-to-back against a potent Anaheim Ducks<\/a> offense led by Cutter Gauthier<\/a>.<\/p>\n Gauthier has feasted on teams that struggle defensively, hitting the scoresheet in 11 of his last 14 games against Bottom-10 teams in points allowed.<\/p>\n That stretch includes a two-point performance against Vegas in late November, when Gauthier piled up six shots and a ridiculous 14 shot attempts.<\/p>\n Anaheim will lean heavily on Gauthier to get back on track, and I expect him to deliver once again.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content?
