The Los Angeles Kings are coming off triumphs at Vancouver and Edmonton, and I think they'll come out of their three-game trek through Western Canada with a perfect record after visiting the Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome Thursday night.

Calgary snapped a three-game skid with a 4-3 OT win against Chicago on New Year's Eve, but it's worth noting that this is a team that's just 2-6 in its last eight when facing a team with a winning record. The Flames have struggled to assert themselves in front of the home fans going just 10-11-0 at home. The Kings meanwhile own a Western Conference-best 13-6-2 road record and they've won 11 of their last 13 when visiting a team with a losing home record.

My free pick is on LA Kings.

Mike Lundin closed out 2017 with a BIG BANG! The profits across all sports have piled up to more than +$10,000 since December 26 after a MASSIVE 7-0 SWEEP on the hardwood Wednesday night. Mike's looking to put the profits to work right away with his BIGGEST NBA BET OF THE WEEK tonight, as well as a NHL 3-PACK.
