Golden Knights hope defense improves
The Golden Knights have shown flashes this season with their offense stepping up and scoring 10 goals through three games. Jack Eichel, Pavel Dorofeyev, and Mark Stone have scored seven goals and 10 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has stepped up as well. Mitch Marner and Ivan Barbashev have combined for a goal and three assists while defensemen Shea Theodore and Ben Hutton have added two assists to help open up the offense.
The offense has been great but the defense has let them down, allowing 10 goals in their first three games. Theodore and Hutton have led the top two pairings but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to fire the puck on the net with ease. Additionally, goaltender Adin Hill has struggled, allowing seven goals on only 48 shots.

Calgary hopes defense improves
The Flames are off to a rough start with their offense scoring only six goals in their first three games. Matthew Coronato, Nazem Kadri, and Joel Farabee have scored two goals and five assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. The hope is that Jonathan Huberdeau provides a spark as the top-line forward is expected to return to the lineup soon.
The offense has struggled but the defense has let them down, allowing 12 goals in the first three games. Rasmus Andersson and Kevin Bahl have anchored the top two pairings but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net with ease. Additionally, goaltender Dustin Wolf has struggled early on, allowing 12 goals on 89 shots.
Golden Knights vs Flames Pick
- Golden Knights (-155) (4 units)
The Golden Knights are better than their record indicates, and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Golden Knights should create plenty of scoring chances with Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence while creating open shots with quick passes. The Golden Knights should limit the Flames offense, which only has six goals in three games, with Shea Theodore and Ben Hutton creating turnovers while limiting shooting lanes, allowing goaltender Dustin Wolf to make plenty of big saves. The Golden Knights should win the game with a strong performance on the road.
Take the Golden Knights money line as road Favorites.
Over/Under Pick For Golden Knights vs Flames
- Over 5.5 (5 Units)
Both teams have awful defenses, and I see this game being a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Flames should create plenty of scoring chances against a Golden Knights defense that has allowed 10 goals through three games, with Nazem Kadri, Joel Farabee, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Golden Knights, who have scored 10 goals in their first three games should run up the score against the Flames, who have allowed 12 through three, with Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, Mitch Marner, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement while Shea Theodore fires shots on the net from the blue line. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 5.5 goals.
The Golden Knights face the Flames with both teams looking to improve on rocky starts this season.
