UPDATE: Added a +180 anytime goal scorer pick!<\/p>\n

Anaheim Ducks<\/a> forward Leo Carlsson<\/a> is among the most consistent offensive presences in the NHL, and while he came up empty in Game 3, he hasn’t gone back-to-back games without a point since early April<\/p>\n

My\u00a0Ducks vs. Golden Knights<\/a> predictions\u00a0expect Carlsson to find his way back on the scoresheet tonight.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive in with my NHL picks<\/a> on Tuesday, May 12.<\/p>\n

Ducks vs Golden Knights Game 5 predictionDucks vs Golden Knights best bet: Leo Carlsson Over 0.5 points\u00a0(-170)<\/p>\n

The Anaheim Ducks<\/a> have created plenty of opportunities with Leo Carlsson<\/a> on the ice, generating 94 shot attempts, 50 scoring chances, and 4.45 expected goals. That has translated to two goals.<\/p>\n

Carlsson is a career 14.7% shooter \u2014 and plays with great players at 5-on-5 and on the power play \u2014 so there\u2019s no reason to expect these looks to continue being wasted.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s especially true facing Carter Hart<\/a>, who posted an .891 SV% and allowed 4.2 more goals than expected during the regular season.<\/p>\n

Look for Carlsson, who has been held pointless in consecutive games just twice over the last four months, to get back on the scoresheet in one of the best Ducks vs. Golden Knights player props<\/a> on the board.<\/p>\n

Ducks vs Golden Knights Game 5 same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Troy Terry<\/a> flies under the radar because of all Anaheim\u2019s terrific young players, but he quietly sits tied for the team lead in points during the playoffs. He leads their forwards in assists, but also trails only Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier<\/a> in shots.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a dual-threat weapon, and one strongly correlated to Carlsson.<\/p>\n

Shea Theodore<\/a> has blocked multiple shots in eight of 10 playoff games during this run, and has averaged 2.9 along the way. The Ducks play at a fast pace and generate a lot of volume, which helps increase his floor and ceiling.<\/p>\n

Ducks vs Golden Knights SGP<\/p>\n

Leo Carlsson Over 0.5 points<\/p>\n

Troy Terry Over 0.5 points<\/p>\n

Shea Theodore Over 1.5 blocked shots<\/p>\n

Ducks vs Golden Knights Game 5 goal scorer pickCutter Gauthier (+180)<\/p>\n

Gauthier has emerged as one of the best and most consistent goal scorers in the NHL. He finds himself in a four-game drought, which is his longest since the calendar flipped to 2026.<\/p>\n

He leads the Ducks in shot attempts and scoring chances during this series, a sign he will break through sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n
