Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NHL match.
In the final game of their home series, the Vegas Golden Knights host the Calgary Flames. Both teams have been delighting fans with high-scoring games at the start of the season. Should we expect another avalanche of goals?
Vegas Golden Knights
The hosts have the second most prolific offence in the league, trailing the New Jersey Devils by just two goals, despite having played three fewer games. The Vegas Golden Knights are averaging 4.6 goals per game. Notably, four out of their six home games have seen six or more goals scored. A standout performer is their first-line centre Mark Stone, who leads the league with 17 points. However, the team also allow their opponents to attack, conceding an average of 3.1 goals per match.
Calgary Flames
After a bright start to the season, the visitors have hit a slump, winning only one of their last four games. The team have been struggling defensively, as evidenced by conceding five goals to the Winnipeg Jets, a team not renowned for its offence. Still, their offence holds promise, suggesting that the Flames could contend for a playoff spot by the end of the season. The players are netting an average of 3.6 goals per game.
Vegas Golden Knights vs Calgary Flames Prediction
We expect both teams to stick to their styles, delivering an entertaining display of open hockey with plenty of goals. With the Vegas Golden Knights playing their last home game before a road series, they'll definitely want to thrill their fans.
