T.M. Selection: Calgary Flames.

I like the Calgary Flames to win this game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday. The Flames have looked really good in their games lately and I think they will extend their run here with another win on home ice. They have won 5 games in a row now and have looked great in all of those games, with the 4 most recent games all being won by 2+ goals. The Flames have been putting a lot of pucks in the net lately too, scoring 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They are on home ice here and I think they are going to continue scoring tons of goals in their games while they are really hot at the moment. The Flames lead the Pacific Division in points at the moment and are 1 of the best teams in the West while the Knights sit in 4th place in their division, in the hunt for a playoff spot still. They haven't looked great in their games lately though and I think the Flames are going to skate circles around them in this game. Vegas has lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games and both losses were to the Canucks who they have seen 3 times in their previous 4 games now. They have had a very weak schedule over the past few weeks and I think that is going to come back to bite them in this game. The Flames are 1 of the best teams in the West and have been winning a lot of games lately against good opposing teams. The Golden Knights have been winning games lately but they have been playing teams like the Coyotes, Canucks, Kraken, and Blackhawks in their previous 7 games without seeing another opposing team during that time. All of those teams except for the Canucks are out of playoff contention already and the Canucks were the team they lost to twice during that time. They are going to be no match in this road game against the Flames on home ice. I like the Flames to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Flames.
