Vegas Golden Knights versus Calgary Flames - Tuesday, October 18th, 2022

VGK are looking for a bounce back season and in a big way.

One of the newest teams in the league, they have housed some of the best talent as well over the past two years.

The Golden Knights can create chances from both ends of the ice and their defence is known to be solid all the way throughout a game.

Through three periods, there are not many teams that can hold up as well as the Knights and they need to find that form again for 2022-2023.

The goalie play has to be upped to a different level this year to compete with the best, and VGK knows that.

A rotation between some of the better keepers in the league will keep the competition fresh as well as the mentality.

Look for VGK to put up a great fight against the boys from Calgary this Tuesday.

After a season with high expectations came to an end, early in the playoffs, the Flames look to make things right.

Calgary has a ton of attacking talent and they come at teams with ferocity and upward aggressiveness.

Shots on goal to the highest degree, they pepper the opponent’s goal with shots and put pressure on defences without breaking a sweat.

However, their own defensive end remains a problem which means that they have to track back and make disadvantageous plays in order to just secure their goal.

Calgary is clearly capable of beating some of the best teams in the league and they will show once again this year that their goal should be a Stanley Cup.

Betting Prediction - Take Calgary Money line against VGK in a battle between East and West at the Canadian palace!.

Tampa Bay Lightning versus Florida Panthers - Friday, October 21st, 2022

An all-Floridian battle will go down this Friday between two of the top teams in the NHL. Both the TB Lightning and Florida Panthers have hefty expectations for their seasonal goals this campaign and what a great matchup this will be to check out how they will fare.

An early but much needed reality check, there is going to be a lot of hype for one of the better games of this week.

Lightning veterans will know how to play the Panthers, especially over the past few years, but the new version of Florida looks to be more solid than ever.

Look for the Panthers to save a bunch of opportunities in front of goals with their exceptional goalie play and create on the counter.

Prediction - Take the under on the Asian total of goals in what should be a very tight battle in Florida!
