Flames vs Golden Knights Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Flames to take down the Golden Knights on the road. With the moneyline currently at +118, I’m placing my bet on the Flames straight-up.

Our projections have the Flames pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Flames, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
