Let’s break down my NHL picks for May 14.
Golden Knights vs Ducks Game 6 prediction
Golden Knights vs Ducks best bet: Leo Carlsson Over 0.5 points (-180)
The Anaheim Ducks have tilted the ice during Leo Carlsson’s 5-on-5 minutes, winning the shot attempt battle 70-43 and out-chancing the Vegas Golden Knights 34-18.
The 5-on-5 profile is very good, and that’s especially important given that there are often fewer penalties called in elimination games. Refs want to keep things at full-strength and ‘let the players decide’, which sets up well given how well Carlsson has played at 5-on-5.

Carlsson is also more productive on home soil. Playoffs included, he has averaged 1.1 points per game and hit the scoresheet in 70% of his appearances since the calendar flipped to 2026.
Golden Knights vs Ducks same-game parlay
Jackson LaCombe has played a whopping 130 minutes through five games, logging more ice time than any player in this series. Joel Quenneville is going to ride his star defenseman into the ground in a do-or-die game, which only enhances his already strong chances of production.
The Ducks are going to push and be especially aggressive offensively with their season on the line. That will lead to plenty of blocked shot opportunities for Shea Theodore, who leads the Golden Knights in ice time and has averaged 3.1 blocks over the last nine games.
