Tap into my NHL picks for Saturday, Nov. 14, and let's keep building.
TOP PICK
Flames vs Kings prediction: Flames
I don't care that the Calgary Flames are playing on the road; this Los Angeles Kings team has been an absolute disaster in its own building, winning just twice in nine games.
Los Angeles has dropped three straight by a combined 13-4 score, and the Flames have owned this matchup, winning six of their last seven meetings. Calgary hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire either, but against a Kings team struggling to find any consistency (30th in expected goals), there's a legitimate path to another Flames victory.
COVERS INTEL: For as bad as their offense has been, the Flames' power play has been holding up, clicking at a 29% clip with 12.55 goals for per 60, good for fourth in hockey. 
Flames vs Kings combo
The Kings have been an absolute disaster on home ice and I'm expecting Calgary to take full advantage.
Joel Farabee leads the Flames with 17 points in 19 games, and against a Kings penalty kill operating at a miserable 66%, there's plenty of opportunity to add to that total. The Kevin Fiala bump is real for Quinton Byfield, with Fiala set to make his season debut tonight. His return gives the Kings some much-needed offensive firepower, and I'm expecting Byfield to benefit from having another weapon alongside him.

- Joel Farabee point
Flames vs Kings player prop: Joel Farabee 1+ point
Farabee has been Calgary's biggest offensive weapon, leading the Flames in points. He's averaging 3.6 shots over his last five games, has scored in two of his last three, and leads Calgary with 6.7 expected goals, so the opportunities are certainly there.
Throw in a Kings defense allowing 3.53 goals per game and a penalty kill operating at a subpar 66%, and Farabee has a favourable matchup to add to his point total.
Flames vs Kings goal scorer: Kevin Fiala
Anyone up for a season debut goal? Sign me up. Fiala is set to skate on the second line while quarterbacking the top power-play unit, giving him plenty of opportunities to make an immediate impact. The volume and opportunity should be there, and I'm expecting him to make some noise in his first game back.
