The Vegas Golden Knights (22-8-3) look to continue their impressive run as they welcome the Anaheim Ducks (12-15-4) to T-Mobile Arena for a crucial Pacific Division matchup on Monday night.
The defending champions have been nearly unstoppable lately, winning seven of their last eight games while allowing just two goals per game during their current three-game winning streak.
The Ducks, meanwhile, have shown resilience on the road despite their overall struggles, covering the spread in nine of their last ten away games.
Vegas has dominated the head-to-head series this season, winning all three previous meetings while holding Anaheim to fewer than three goals in each contest.
Adin Hill has been exceptional in net for the Golden Knights, allowing more than two goals only twice in his last eleven starts, while the Ducks' offense ranks 31st in the league averaging just 2.42 goals per game.
As these Pacific Division rivals prepare to face off, both teams' contrasting momentum and recent history suggest an intriguing battle at T-Mobile Arena, where the Golden Knights have won their last four home games.
This preview analyzes the key factors that could determine the outcome of this Western Conference showdown between the surging Golden Knights and the determined Ducks.
