Los Angeles Kings vs Calgary Flames Prediction & Picks, November 14, 2026

The Kings have been a bit shaky lately, winning just 5 of their last 10 games. They're tough defensively, blocking an impressive 15 shots a game, which is better than most teams in the league. The Flames, on the other hand, are finding their stride with 6 wins in their last 10. They also have solid defense, keeping shot blocks at league average, which makes this matchup even tighter. With both teams focusing on defense, I think there's a good chance we'll see fewer goals scored. The expected total is close to 5.8, so betting on under 5.5 goals makes sense here. The most concrete risk is how evenly matched these teams are, which means it could go either way.

Los Angeles Kings vs Calgary Flames: Los Angeles Kings -0.5 2nd Period Puck Line (+135)

For the Kings to cover the second-period puck line, they need to outscore the Flames in that period. The Kings have shown they can keep the pressure on, landing nearly 24 hits a game, which can shake up the Flames' rhythm. Plus, they have a solid home crowd backing them, making it tougher for Calgary to settle into their game. The Flames have been just as tough, but this matchup could come down to who can control the pace better. The biggest risk is that the Flames have been winning 6 out of their last 10 games, so they won't go down easily.

Los Angeles Kings vs Calgary Flames: Calgary Flames 3rd Period 3-Way Moneyline (+200)

The Kings have been solid lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games, but they struggle with shot-blocking compared to the Flames. Calgary has been winning more often, taking 6 of their last 10, and they put up a good fight with their hitting and blocking. This matchup looks tight, but the Flames have a good chance to come out on top in the third period. Betting on the Flames to win the third period is a smart choice at these odds. Just remember, the Kings have been tough at home, so it could go either way.

Los Angeles Kings vs Calgary Flames: Adrian Kempe Under 3.5 Shots on Goal (-147)

Adrian Kempe has been a solid player for the Los Angeles Kings, but tonight he faces a tough challenge against the Calgary Flames. The Kings have been strong defensively this season, blocking more shots than the average team and landing a good number of hits. This means that they are not only protecting their goal but also making it harder for players like Kempe to get clean shots off. While Kempe might be eager to score, the Flames have also shown that they can keep opponents from getting too many good chances. With both teams playing hard and the Kings being especially physical, it seems likely that Kempe will struggle to reach four shots tonight. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are closely matched, which could lead to a lower scoring game overall.
