Flames vs. Golden Knights Prediction

I’m on Vegas here. Two teams headed in different directions right now and I’m looking for whatever opportunity I can to fade the Flames whenever possible Vegas is just the far better team and they’re at home which has become an advantage in and of itself. I’ll side with the Golden Knights to stay hot here.
