Despite playing on back-to-back nights, Vegas is still the favorite and it is easy to see why as they have dominated the series, going 8-1-1 in the last ten and 2-0-1 in the last three contests. The Golden Knights have also won by an average margin of 2.1 goals per game over the last ten and 2.33 goals per game over the last three games in the series. I look for those trends to continue which is why I am taking the puck line for the Vegas Golden Knights at -1.5 when they travel to face the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night.
