LiontipsAnaheim vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 29, 2022).
Command Analysis
Anaheim are having a terrible season. Right now, the Ducks are on a three-game losing streak. They lost to Los Angeles (1:4) away, and then suffered a defeat to Minnesota (1:4) at home. Anaheim managed to last till overtime against Calgary, but eventually lost (2:3 OT) again. The main reason for poor results is the weak offensive line - on average, the Ducks score only two goals per game.
Vegas are plagued by injuries. Five players are still out, and four more remain doubtful. Forwards Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault will probably miss another game, which will undoubtedly affect the team's performance. Defenceman Shea Theodore has earned 22 points this season, but the VGK need their forwards to win. Despite all problems, the Golden Knights are still the leaders of the Western Conference.

Tip and bets
We don't believe that Anaheim can put up a fight against Vegas. The Ducks are having a disaster of a season, while the VGK are doing well despite all their injuries. Moreover, the Ducks too have problems in the roster - both their main goalies are out injured. This should be easy enough for Vegas.
Our prediction - Vegas to win
We expect Vegas to deliver high performance against Anaheim, who have unexperienced Dostal in goal. At the same time, we predict some defensive problems for the VGK. Take the over.
Second bet - total over 6 goals
