Vegas continues to dominate the league. Last season, the Knights finished first in the conference at the end of the regular season and won the Stanley Cup. It seemed they would slow down after such a fantastic success to enjoy the triumph, but nothing happened. They began the current regular season with a long winning streak, after which they continued to collect points, and the only decline came in the second half of November when there were five defeats in six meetings. But in their last six games, they have taken 11 out of a possible 12 points to consolidate their lead in the Western Conference standings.

Once again, Calgary has failed to produce decent results. The Flames failed to make the playoffs last season, and now they can take an early vacation. The Flames showed their level of ambition right from the start of the regular season when they lost eight of their first ten games. After that, they were able to improve and hold on to points a little more often, but to improve, they need to produce winning streaks, which is not happening. Moreover, the team has only picked up two points out of a possible ten in their last five games. Such a poor run has dropped the Canadian team to 11th place in the Western Conference standings.

The history of meetings between Vegas and Calgary is not very long, but some trends can be seen. For example, the Flames play hard on the ice at T-Mobile Arena, where the competitors have met nine times, with the home team coming out on top in eight meetings. The Knights are the favorites in the upcoming battle, as they are in great shape right now, having collected 11 out of 12 possible points in their last six games. 

Not only is Vegas actively scoring points lately, but they also show excellent offensive skills. In their last seven games, Bruce Cassidy's wards have put 30 pucks in the opposition's net (4.29 average per game). The Flames are already playing poorly defensively, allowing 21 pucks (4.20 average per game) in their last five meetings, a modest result.
