| NHL | (1) Anaheim Ducks at (2) Vegas Golden Knights: Total | 9:30pm EDT - May 4/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Over 6.5 (-108)
This matchup has all the ingredients for a high‑scoring opener because both teams are coming in with strong offensive form, shaky defensive numbers, and goaltending that hasn’t traveled well. Anaheim averaged 4.33 goals per game in its first‑round series against Edmonton and has been productive on the road all season at 3.14 goals per game, while Vegas just hung five goals in each of its last three games against Utah and averaged 3.83 goals per game in that series. Both defenses have been leaky in these environments — the Golden Knights have allowed 3.57 goals per game at home, and the Ducks have allowed the same 3.57 on the road — and Anaheim’s last seven games have averaged a hefty 8.0 goals. Lukas Dostal hasn’t found his postseason footing with a 3.87 GAA and owns a 3.37 career road GAA, and while Carter Hart has played well, Anaheim’s shot volume and pressure are a major step up from what Utah offered. With both offenses rolling, both defenses vulnerable, and Game 1 typically played with more freedom before adjustments tighten things up, this matchup sets up cleanly for the over 6.5.
