Calgary has been the NHL’s best road team this season, posting an 11-2-2 record away from Scotiabank Saddledome. Leading goal scorer Andrew Mangiapane has played a key role in that success, scoring 15 of his 16 goals on the road. Mangiapane is tied for third in the Rocket Richard race.

The Flames are allowing just two goals against per game, which is tops in the NHL. Starting goalie Jacob Markstrom is having an excellent season with a .939 save percentage and five shutouts. Offensively, the Flames are scoring 3.21 goals per game, which is ninth-best in the NHL.

Golden Knights’ Offense Bolsters Betting Value

Vegas has exploded for 12 goals in their past two games heading into Sunday’s Pacific Division showdown with the Flames. The Golden Knights lost 6-5 to Anaheim on Wednesday before dominating Arizona 7-1 on Friday.

Pete DeBoer’s team is 6-4-0 in their past 10 contests.

Max Pacioretty has racked up six points in four games since returning from injury, while Mark Stone has four assists in his past five contests. Chandler Stephenson leads the team in scoring with 21 points.

The Golden Knights are now scoring 3.35 goals per game, which is sixth-best in the NHL. The defense remains a concern for Vegas, as the Knights are bottom-10 in the NHL allowing 3.09 goals against per game.

Starting goalie Robin Lehner has been below-average with a .909 save percentage.
