Calgary vs Los Angeles Prediction: the Kings Seem to Be Stronger Now

Prediction for the NHL-1 match between Calgary vs Los Angeles, which will take place on January 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Calgary

Calgary's not having a great season. The Flames' results have been all over the place. They lost 0-3 to Vegas, then beat Vancouver 3-1, but then lost to Utah 3-5 and Nashville 1-4. The day before, the hosts defeated Anaheim in overtime (3-2). It's clear that Ryan Huskey's strategy isn't cutting it, and they need to make some changes. In the overall Western standings, Calgary is out of the playoff zone, in ninth position with 45 points.

LA Kings

The Kings are doing really well this season. They've had a great run of form since Christmas, with a five-game winning streak. The visitors beat Winnipeg 2-1 in overtime the day before. Jim Hill is pretty happy with where his team is in the Western Conference – they're fourth with 53 points.
