The set-up: Anaheim comes in off a 2-1 shootout win over Nashville and I believe it's primed for a predictable letdown here in this difficult road venue. The Golden Knights on the other hand will be eager to return to form after a humbling 4-1 loss to Boston in their most recent action. The Ducks are averaging only 2.21 GPG, while allowing 2.74. The Knights are averaging 2.39 GPG and allowing 2.94.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Anaheim is a poor 1-10 in its last 11 when playing on one days rest, while Vegas is still 27-11 in its last 38 vs. the Pacific. Lay the price.
