The Golden Knights eye their third straight W
The Vegas Golden Knights dropped four of their first five games in November. Since then, the Golden Knights have gone 3-0-1. After a 4-1 win at the St. Louis Blues and a 3-2 overtime loss at the Minnesota Wild, the Golden Knights beat the New York Rangers 3-2 at home and the Utah Mammoth 4-1 on the road.
Vegas dominated Utah last Thursday. The Golden Knights outshot the Mammoth 33-26 while scoring three goals in the second period. Jack Eichel led the way with two goals and an assist, while Shea Theodore made three dishes.
Akira Schmid has guarded the cage in four of the previous five games. He posted 25 stops against Utah, and the 25-year-old netminder is now 9-1-2 with a strong 2.33 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 2025-26. Adin Hill is on the IR, so Carl Lindbom (0-3-2; 3.18 GAA; .874 SV%) serves as a backup.
The Golden Knights are ninth in the league in goals against (2.75 per game) and 14th in goals for (3.20). Eichel leads the charge with 10 goals and 17 assists, while Mitch Marner has amassed four goals and 17 assists in his first year with Vegas.
The Ducks are slowing down
The Anaheim Ducks were 11-3-1 on November 10, riding a seven-game winning streak. They’ve slowed down since then, dropping four of their next six contests and scoring just 13 goals during that stretch.
Anaheim started this week with a pair of home wins to the Utah Mammoth 3-2 in overtime and the Boston Bruins 4-3, but the Ducks returned to losing ways with a 3-2 defeat to the Ottawa Senators this past Thursday.
The Ducks blew a 2-1 lead against the Sens, and Petr Mrazek gave up three goals on 25 shots. Lukas Dostal is expected to return to the crease on Saturday, and the 25-year-old netminder carries a 10-5-1 record with a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage.
Anaheim allows 3.14 goals per game (tied for 20th in the NHL) and scores 3.57 goals in return (3rd). Leo Carlsson leads the way for the Ducks with 11 goals and 17 assists, while Cutter Gauthier has recorded 12 goals and 12 assists. Mikael Granlund (G3, A6) missed four straight games with a lower-body injury and is questionable for Saturday’s clash against Vegas.

Moneyline Pick for Golden Knights vs. Ducks
- Vegas Golden Knights (5 units)
The Ducks are one of the most pleasant surprises of the season. Their offense has done a great job thus far, but the Ducks’ defense leaves a lot to be desired. Anaheim allows 30.0 shots per game, and just two teams have given up more power-play goals than the Ducks (18).
On the other side, the Golden Knights are 14th in the NHL in penalty killing (44-for-54) and eighth in power-play percentage (17-for-70). I expect them to get revenge for that overtime defeat in front of the home fans.
Vegas outshot Anaheim 39-29 at home. The Golden Knights erased a 3-1 deficit but couldn’t find a way to come out on top. Petr Mrazek (3-2-0; 3.61 GAA; .886 SV%) guarded the cage for Anaheim, while Akira Schmid was in the crease for Vegas.
Over/Under Pick for Golden Knights vs. Ducks
- Under 6.5 (5 units)
As I mentioned, the Ducks are allowing a lot of shots per game. Lukas Dostal has done a good job under the circumstances. On the other side, the Golden Knights allow just 25.1 shots per game. Akira Schmid has been terrific so far this month, going 4-0-2 with a 1.97 GAA and a .917 save percentage.
Hereof, I’m going with the under. It’s a tough wager given the Ducks’ resurrected offense, but Anaheim has slowed down a bit lately, and the Golden Knights should be able to provide a solid defensive performance.
