My Flames vs. Golden Knights predictions don\u2019t see any reason to expect anything different against a John Tortorella-coached Vegas Golden Knights team.<\/p>\n

Flames vs Golden Knights predictionFlames vs Golden Knights best bet: Under 5.5 (+115)<\/p>\n

The Calgary Flames<\/a> will be looking to tighten the screws after giving up nine goals to the powerhouse Avalanche last time out.<\/p>\n

They have a good chance of doing so against a Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> team that sits 25th in 5-on-5 pace and 30th in scoring rate over the last 10 games \u2014 seven of which have gone Under the number.<\/p>\n

On the Vegas side, their defensive metrics are elite. New head coach John Tortorella will hammer home the attention to detail and make sure they\u2019re playing a buttoned-up 200-foot game heading into the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Flames vs Golden Knights same-game parlay<\/p>\n

Zach Whitecloud<\/a> has blocked multiple shots in seven of his last nine games. He\u2019s playing heavy defensive minutes and will have extra incentive to make an impact, squaring off against his former team for the first time since the trade.<\/p>\n

Olli Maatta<\/a> blocked 14 shots over the last five games and will have plenty of chances to build on those totals against a north-south Vegas team that likes to work pucks low to high and throw them at the net.<\/p>\n
