In this article, we will formulate a Golden Knights vs Flames prediction for this NHL game on Tuesday, April 15, at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, AB. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this NHL matchup.

Vegas Golden Knights Betting Preview

The Vegas Golden Knights (49-22-9, 46-34 ATS) won four of the previous five games to secure the Pacific Division title and will face the Wild, Blues, or Flames in the first round of the playoffs. The Golden Knights beat the Flames, Canucks, Kraken, and Predators, while the lone loss came to the Avalanche. They will spend the final two games of the season on the road.

Calgary Flames Betting Preview

The Calgary Flames (39-27-14, 41-39 ATS) won two crucial games over the Minnesota Wild and San Jose Sharks to stay alive in the race for the Wild Card place. Following this duel with Vegas, the Flames will take on the Kings in Los Angeles, and they will play without any pressure, so it will be a chance for Calgary. However, the Flames first need to get two points against Vegas on Tuesday.

The Flames score 2.64 goals per game on average (30th), while they concede 2.89 GPG (14th). This season, Nazem Kadri leads the team with 63 points (32 G and 31 A). Jonathan Huberdeau has 61 points (28 G and 33 A), while MacKenzie Weegar chips in with 46 points (8 G and 38 A).

Dustin Wolf (28-16-8) is expected to start for the Flames at the goal on Tuesday against the Golden Knights. The 23-year-old is allowing 2.62 goals per game this year with a .910 SV% and three shutouts.

Golden Knights vs Flames Prediction

The Golden Knights won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, and they won all three duels this season. The Flames will be desperate not only to avoid being swept but also to stay alive in the playoff race, as they can still catch up with Minnesota and St. Louis. Vegas will be without its best player, Eichel, while defenseman Pietrangelo will also skip this one. That's an opportunity for the Flames to win and keep the hopes of sneaking into the playoffs in the final game against Los Angeles. I am going with Calgary.
