Kings vs Flames Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Flames to secure a victory over the Kings at home. With the moneyline currently set at +111, I’m locking in my bet on the Flames straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Flames winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Flames straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
