From the very first games, the Knights began to show all their power, beating one opponent after another, but it turned out to be problematic to go the distance of 82 games without a slump. The first serious setbacks came in November, after which Vegas was able to improve, but now the situation has worsened. In the last ten meetings, Bruce Cassidy's wards have suffered seven defeats, all in regulation time, and only Los Angeles managed to beat them - 3:2, the Islanders - 5:2, and the day before Boston - 2:1. Now, Vegas is fifth in the Western Conference standings.

The current regular season is a difficult one for Calgary. The overhaul the Flames underwent before the start of last season did not improve results. Their debut in the current championship was a complete failure, with eight losses in ten games. They began to pick up points, and in January, they played some of their best hockey in months. In their last seven meetings, Ryan Husky's team has suffered only two losses, to Philadelphia and Chicago - 3:2 and 4:3 - and have won five more in regulation. That run has moved Calgary to 11th place in the Western Conference standings.

Vegas has been unsuccessful over the past month, but the Knights have an excellent chance to come away with a positive result in the upcoming showdown. Calgary traditionally plays at T-Mobile Arena. The Flames have won only one of the ten games between the two teams, and the home team has come out on top in nine of those contests, often winning handily - 7:3, 6:2, 6:0. Bruce Cassidy's wards have to get out of an unpleasant situation with the help of a favorable opponent. 

Surprisingly, the games between Vegas and Calgary are rich in goals and emotions, while in Canada, the teams play very pragmatically and privately. In the last six meetings at T-Mobile Arena, the opponents have combined for 44 goals (7.33 per game), which is good by NHL standards. Much more effective
