Flames vs. Golden Knights Prediction
I’m on the Golden Knights here. Vegas has been rolling as of late and really isn’t a team I want to step in front of in their current form, considering they’ve covered 8 straight on the puck line at home against the division. Calgary continues to be the less effective version of themselves on the road this season, and I think that the Flames get burnt here. Give me Vegas.
