Calgary Flames vs Los Angeles Kings Betting Analysis
Betting on Calgary? Flames ATS Record a Mixed Bag Despite Recent Wins
Calgary wasn’t among the NHL picks to make the playoffs this season, but they put up a decent fight even despite trading away some of their key veteran players early in the year. They were competitive with most NHL teams for much of the season, but have fallen down the standings following a 2-8 stretch in their last 10 NHL games. They are, however, coming off a 3-2 overtime win against the San Jose Sharks and they beat the Kings 4-2 on home ice a little less than two weeks ago.
The Flames are 19th in NHL stats for goals per game (3.04), 13th in shots (31.4), and T26th in power-play percentage (17.5). They’re 23rd in goals allowed (3.25), 17th in shots allowed (29.9), and have the 10th-best penalty kill (81 percent). They’re 16-18-4 on the road and 34-43 against the spread (ATS), including 17-21 on the road. The Flames are also 11-10-1 in NHL games against Pacific Division opponents.
