It is time for Game 6 between the Anaheim Ducks and Vegas Golden Knights. This has been an absolute dog fight of a series, and with both teams going back and forth, the Golden Knights now sit 1 win away from the Western Conference Finals. Can Anaheim stave off elimination? Here is our expert Ducks vs. Golden Knights prediction for a critical contest.

Vegas has owned Anaheim in many facets of the game during the series, including their power play operating over 30% and winning nearly 56% of faceoffs. In the playoffs overall, they own the third-highest goals per game average (3.55) and a penalty kill near 90% (87.9%). When they have found success during these playoffs, it is clear it comes from an excellent structure and a well-balanced game, as opposed to luck and run-and-gun.

A key part to this success is being led by head coach John Tortarella, who is extremely well-versed in the playoffs with a Stanley Cup and over 130 games of playoff coaching experience. While Anaheim is beaming with potential and talent, their impressive run will come to an end. Vegas boasts a deep, talented and experienced roster that should be able to put this over the finish line, even on the road — where they have posted a winning record in the playoffs (3-2). For our Golden Knights vs. Ducks prediction, we are siding with the hot hand in Vegas to close out the series.
