Kings vs Flames Prediction

The Flames are 2-1 in their three meetings against the Kings this season, having won their only meeting in Calgary by 3-2 in a shootout. The Flames are 7-2 in their last 9 meetings against the Kings.

In this Kings vs Flames Prediction, the Kings are coming as -135 road favorites. The Kings have made it to the playoffs but their placement is still to be determined, so they need this win. They are 5-1 in their last 6 games but lost to the Canucks on the road so I don’t trust them at all, as they have lost their last five visits in Calgary. The Flames are 2-6 in their last 8 games and I don’t trust them either, so just take the under 5.5 goals, since six of their last seven meetings have gone under that number.
