The Calgary Flames have played in a lot of low-scoring affairs of late, with only two of their past 10 going Over the total.

My Flames vs. Kings predictions see another Under in the cards against a Los Angeles team struggling mightily to create offense.

Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Saturday, February 28.

Flames vs Kings prediction

Flames vs Kings best bet: Under 5.5 (-105)

The Los Angeles Kings have scored just 17 times over their past eight games, more than only the Devils.

They traded for Artemi Panarin to spark the offense but lost star winger Kevin Fiala for the season before Panarin even debuted, leaving them in a tough spot.

Goals should be hard to find again tonight. The Calgary Flames limit chances well at 5-on-5, and they’re tied for sixth in PK%, giving opponents no easy offense.

Only two of Calgary’s last 10 games have gone Over the number. They’re happy to play a structured, low-event brand of hockey.

Flames vs Kings same-game parlay

The Kings have scored more than two regulation goals just twice over their past eight games. They’re really struggling to find the net, making it difficult for them to create any sort of separation on their opponent.

Yegor Sharangovich has averaged 2.7 shots on 6.0 attempts over his last 10 games, going Over eight times. A lot of his volume comes from the slot, and the Kings sit 27th in slot shots allowed spanning the past 10.
