Calgary Flames vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction
The Calgary Flames have had a handful of frustrating results lately, and the defensive effort has let them down in their losses. The Vegas Golden Knights have been on a tear scoring-wise, and they’ve been ridiculous at home, where all 6 of their wins this season have come. The Golden Knights have scored a combined 19 goals in their last 3 games. The Flames have had success against the Golden Knights in the past, but I have to side with the home team. Of course, I’ll roll with the PL to shave down the juice. I’m not trying to lay -200 prices. Give me Vegas and the PL for max betting value.
