Week 4 of the 2024-25 NHL season begins on Monday, October 27, with a Pacific Division clash between the Calgary Flames and the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the puck drop scheduled for 10:00 PM ET. Calgary seeks its third consecutive victory over Vegas. However, they are considered +170 moneyline underdogs, which means a $ 100 bet on the Flames would yield a $ 170 profit. The Flames concluded a three-game homestand with a record of 1-2-0, with a 4-3 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Notwithstanding their recent defeats, they maintain an average of 3.50 goals per game, with Rasmus Andersson and Jonathan Huberdeau spearheading the offensive. Dan Vladar is anticipated to begin as the starting goalkeeper.
The Vegas Golden Knights are now on a three-game winning run, having secured home triumphs over the Los Angeles Kings, Ottawa Senators, and San Jose Sharks. Vegas has a home record of 6-0-0 and leads the NHL in goals scored (4.67 per game), ranking fourth in power-play efficiency. Brett Howden, a key forward, and Mark Stone, the team’s captain, have been significant contributors. Stone, known for his playmaking skills, and Jack Eichel, a recent addition to the team, have been collaborating effectively, scoring seven goals and providing 25 assists across nine games.
Given the attacking prowess of both sides, the most prudent bet is on over 5.5 goals. This is set to be a fiercely competitive, high-scoring match between the Flames and Golden Knights that you won’t want to miss.
