Pick
I’m backing the Golden Knights here. The Golden Knights are just playing the far more consistent hockey right now, and they’ve also had a ton of success against the Flames having never lost to Calgary at home in their entire existence. The Flames aren’t a team I go looking to back regardless, but this just confirms that. Give me the Golden Knights here.
