The current betting odds have the Golden Knights listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Golden Knights have looked really good in their games this season with their 49-22-9 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West and in a playoff spot. They have been a good road team too with their 20-13-6 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Flames have looked good in their games this season with their 39-27-14 record overall which has them in 4th place of their division in the West, but that record has them outside of a playoff spot. They have looked a lot better on home ice this season with their 22-12-6 home record. The Flames are the only team left in the West that is outside of a playoff spot but is still in playoff contention. They can't afford to lose any games so they will be bringing their best effort in this one as their season is on the line, but they still haven't been that great lately. They are building some momentum with 2 wins in a row now, but they are still only 5-2-3 in their last 10 games. The Golden Knights have not only been the better team this season, but they have also been the hotter team lately. They are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games and have their own momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now. They have already clinched a playoff spot, but they have an opportunity here to not only end the Flames season, but also improve their own standing as they are still playing for overall seeding and home advantage in the playoffs. The best way to place a bet here is on the Golden Knights to win this game.

“This is just the beginning. But it's good when you have high expectations and standards. That is a good thing. Pressure, people talked about that before, all pressure's on. So, we'll welcome the pressure. That probably means you're doing well in something, right? It means you're playing in high-stakes games. That's what's there for us around the corner. The way we approach things. We want to be held to a standard and have a reasonable chance to meet it, and we did.” - Bruce Cassidy after his team’s win against the Predators in their game on Saturday.

"I think at the end of the day, we need to get in. We believe in our group and we're in this position for a reason. We want to get in. Hopefully the chances come and we at least have a chance to get in until the end. That's our goal." - Jonathan Huberdeau after their win against the Sharks in their game on Sunday.
