The Calgary Flames (1-5-0) visit the Vegas Golden Knights (6-2-0) tonight at T-Mobile Arena. Calgary picked up a rare 4-2 win over Anaheim in its last game but has allowed 29 goals through six contests. Vegas beat Nashville 5-2 in its most recent outing and has been one of the best teams in the league through eight games.
Jack Eichel leads the Golden Knights with 13 points (4 goals, 9 assists) and 24 shots through eight games. Mitch Marner has seven points in eight games in his second season with Vegas.
Puck drop is at 10 pm ET. Here are my Flames vs Golden Knights best bets, prediction and over/under odds.
Flames vs Golden Knights Best Bets
- Golden Knights -2.5 (+125 at BetMGM)
- Golden Knights to win (74¢ on Kalshi)
The Flames vs Golden Knights best bets start with the extended puck line. Calgary has allowed 29 goals in six games (4.83 per game). Laying -2.5 at +125 targets a defense that has consistently given up multi-goal deficits.
Vegas is scoring 3.63 goals per game and running a 23.3% power play. Calgary’s penalty kill is at 85.0%, which is respectable, but that has not prevented Calgary from allowing four or more goals in two of its last three games. The Golden Knights have the depth and offensive talent to separate by three or more.
On prediction markets, the Golden Knights are 74 cents to win outright (Calgary 28 cents). A 74¢ contract is equivalent to approximately -285 before fees, a better price than the -333 sportsbook moneyline for the same outcome.
Flames vs Golden Knights Prediction
My Flames vs Golden Knights prediction is on Vegas. The gap between these two teams is enormous right now. Vegas has scored 29 goals and allowed 20 through eight games. Calgary has scored 12 and allowed 29 through six. The Flames are averaging just 2.00 goals per game, which makes it nearly impossible to stay competitive against a team with this much offensive firepower.
Eichel’s 13 points through eight games have him in the early Hart Trophy odds conversation, and the top six with Marner gives Vegas multiple lines that can score. Calgary’s offensive struggles combined with its goals allowed make it hard to see how they keep this close. Neither team has confirmed its starting goaltender.

Calgary allowed seven goals to Colorado and four to Anaheim before holding the Ducks to two in the rematch. One improved result is encouraging, but Vegas presents a tougher test for a team still looking for its second win.
