LiontipsVegas vs Calgary. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 24, 2023).
Command Analysis
Vegas broke their winning streak of five games. The team played away against Chicago and unexpectedly lost in a penalty shootout (2:3 SO). The Golden Knights could secure a victory in regulation but conceded a penalty in an empty net just a minute before the final siren. Before that, the VGK showed excellent results against both the underdogs and their equals, such as Tampa and Minnesota.
Calgarycontinue to struggle and lose points in almost every game, even at home. The Flames were victorious in just one of their recent home games - they overcame the Rangers in overtime (3:2 OT). There were also defeats, including a (2:5) loss to Detroit. Due to their weak performance, the Flames are currently only in ninth place in the Western Conference, and they will most likely miss the playoffs unless they find their form and start collecting points.

Tip and bets
Vegas are in great form, and the defeat to Chicago should have only made them angry and eager to prove themselves. At home, the Golden Knights have an excellent opportunity to redeem themselves - Calgary are showing terrible results lately. We believe that the VGK will show their best hockey and come out on top.
Our prediction - Vegas to win
Vegas show excellent offensive performance, and they rarely concede a lot due to reliable defensive play. Calgary, on the other hand, can't boast of solid defense, so we believe the home team will be able to score at least four goals.
Second prediction - Vegas IT over 3.5 goals
