Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson (91).<\/p>\n UPDATE: Added a prediction for who will win tonight.<\/p>\n Anaheim Ducks forward Leo Carlsson is among the most consistent offensive presences in the NHL, and while he came up empty in Game 3, he hasn’t gone back-to-back games without a point since early April.<\/p>\n My\u00a0Ducks vs. Golden Knights predictions\u00a0expect Carlsson to find his way back on the scoresheet tonight.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s dive in with my NHL picks<\/a> on Tuesday, May 12.<\/p>\n Puck drop is set for 9:30 p.m. ET from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the game airing on ESPN and Sportsnet.<\/p>\n Ducks vs Golden Knights Game 5 prediction Ducks: The Ducks have won the 5-on-5 scoring chance battle 80-59 through four games, and have outchanced the Golden Knights in three of those four games.<\/p>\n Although Carter Hart has played decently, I don\u2019t trust him to hold up against this lethal Anaheim offense.<\/p>\n Ducks 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 in one of the best Ducks vs. Golden Knights player props<\/a> on the board.<\/p>\n Enjoying Covers content?

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
