Calgary Flames vs Los Angeles Kings : Los Angeles Kings win (-156)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

We're eyeing up a Los Angeles Kings win here. Why? Simple - they've been outperforming the Calgary Flames lately, especially when we draw comparisons in their last five games. The Kings have been more successful on the road, boasting a 3-2 away record compared to the Flames' lukewarm 2-3 home performance. Calgary's been struggling to keep their opponents at bay, letting in an average of 2.6 goals in their recent home games - a whole 0.6 more than the Kings. Plus, the Flames' average of 1.4 goals at home is hardly a match for the Kings' 2-goal average away record. Sure, their overall records stand at a similar 1-4, but the Kings have had the upper hand in their recent matchups against the Flames, leading 3-2. All signs seem to point towards the Kings reigning supreme on the ice this time.
