Calgary must win to keep its playoff hopes alive, and Vegas might be cooperating as it is resting a few key guys led by Jack Eichel, Mark Stone and Alex Pietrangelo. Backup Ilya Samsonov is in net as well.

Calgary is still fighting for their postseason lives and normally oddsmakers force us to pay a premium for that. I don't see that properly priced into this line matched up against a Vegas side that's been dealing with injuries and illness down the stretch. While we don't know what Knights players may rest on Tuesday by the time we do the price will be gone. Late in the year it's about info over power ratings and we'll dabble with the dog in this spot.

On April 5th, Vegas defeated the Flames 3-2 in overtime at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Winning consecutive games against the same team at an identical venue within 14 days is challenging. The Golden Knights have defeated Calgary in three straight games; however, the Flames won both previous meetings against Vegas at home, outscoring them 6-2 and outshooting them in both games, 71-57. The potential absence of Jack Eichel and Alex Pietrangelo could significantly impact Vegas, as both are key contributors on offense and defense. Vegas has absorbed 1,802 hits (5th most), while Calgary has received the 6th fewest (1,527). Calgary's urgency, along with Vegas' potential injury concerns and their secured playoff spot, gives the Flames an advantage.
