Los Angeles Kings vs. Calgary Flames Predictions
The Kings come into this matchup after a narrow loss to the Edmonton Oilers, but they’ve been playing solid hockey overall, winning seven of their last ten games. With Trevor Moore leading the team in goals and Adrian Kempe contributing with team-high assists and points, the Kings have been finding ways to win. Their power play has been effective, and they’ll be looking to exploit the Flames’ penalty kill unit. Defensively, they’ve been middle of the pack, but goaltender Cam Talbot has shown he can be a difference-maker in net.
On the other side, the Flames are entering the game on a three-game winning streak, with their latest victory coming against the Oilers. The Flames have been led by the offensive prowess of Blake Coleman and the playmaking abilities of Nazem Kadri. Calgary’s offense has been clicking recently, and they’ll need to maintain that momentum against a Kings team that has been tough to beat. The Flames have been strong at home, and they’ll look to use the energy of the Scotiabank Saddledome crowd to their advantage.
This game is expected to be tightly contested, with both teams closely matched in terms of talent and recent form. The key matchup to watch will be the Kings’ top scorers against the Flames’ goaltender Jacob Markstrom, who is expected to return to the net after being under the weather. With both teams fighting for their playoff lives, expect a high-intensity game with plenty of action at both ends of the ice.
Los Angeles Kings vs. Calgary Flames Pick
Given the recent form of both teams and the strong home-ice advantage that has been evident in past matchups, the Calgary Flames moneyline bet is the more compelling choice. The Flames are riding a three-game winning streak and have demonstrated an ability to capitalize on their scoring opportunities, particularly at home. With the Flames’ top scorers finding their groove and Jacob Markstrom expected to return to the net, Calgary’s chances of extending their winning streak look promising. Additionally, the Flames’ offense has been clicking, and they’ll be eager to maintain that momentum against a Kings team that has shown some vulnerability on the road.
While the Kings have been playing solid hockey and have a strong record against the spread in their recent meetings with the Flames, the dynamics of this game favor the home team. The Flames’ recent offensive surge and the support of the Scotiabank Saddledome crowd give them the edge. Moreover, the Kings are coming off a loss and may be feeling the pressure of the playoff race, which could impact their performance. Considering these factors, the Calgary Flames moneyline bet is the more strategic pick for this Western Conference clash.
