Calgary Flames vs Vegas Golden Knights: Golden Knights won't have time to recover

Prediction for the NHL Calgary Flames vs Vegas Golden Knights match, which will take place on February 10. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Calgary went into the week's break on a great note. The team had won four of their last five games, with a combined score of 16:10. Thus, the Flyers are in second place and secured a slight two-point advantage over Edmonton. In the last three meetings, Calgary barely beat Vancouver in overtime (1:0), then defeated Dallas (4:3) by one puck and Arizona (4:2) by two.

Vegas played well in the first part of the back-to-back in which they thrashed Edmonton, scoring four unanswered goals. The Golden Knights are now two points ahead of second-place Los Angeles in the Pacific Division standings (their lead is now four points). The Night Knights have the second-highest goals-against average in the Western Conference. They scored 162 goals in 47 games. Only Colorado has more (183).

Overall, Vegas looks superior in class, but the team has the first part of the back-to-back, and there was a week-long break before that, so some physical issues are possible. Calgary is a pretty powerful club fighting for a place in the playoffs, and it's not desirable to lose points now. We think that the rivals will show intense and at the same time spectacular hockey. Prediction: Total over (5.5).
