Ducks vs Golden Knights Prediction

The Anaheim Ducks and Vegas Golden Knights face off on Saturday in an NHL showdown at T-Mobile Arena. 

Ducks Kick off NHL Season

The Ducks are one of the last teams to kick off their season and their first game will be on Saturday night. The Ducks really struggled during the preseason and the last couple of games the offense has been a major issue. Over the last three games, the Ducks scored only four goals total. In the last game against the Arizona Coyotes, the defense also gave up seven goals on the way to the defeat. 

Golden Knights Look for Third Win

The Golden Knights have won the first two games of the season and each game has had an identical score of 4-1. The offense has looked impressive but this is a game that looks like they are going to have a very good defense all season. Nicolas Hague had a strong game in the last game scoring a goal and adding an assist. Logan Thompson had a strong game in goal saving 22 of the 23 shots he faced. In this game if the defense steps up, Vegas is going to pick up another win. 

Shane’s Free Pick

Vegas has won the first two games 4-1 and I expect this final score will be similar. Vegas scored four goals in each of the first two games and the Ducks defense is going to be a big issue all season. Look for Vegas to score at least four goals here, and this is going to be a blowout victory for Vegas. Back the Golden Knights on the puck  line.
