Only two points separates the Los Angeles Kings and the Calgary Flames in the Pacific Division as the two teams will take the ice in the Saddledome tonight. The Flames won the first match-up of the season, but I'm looking for the visitors to take this one down.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Situational/Motivational - Only one week has passed since the two teams faced each-other the last time. The Kings found themselves 3-0 up after only 25 minutes of play, and looked like they would be cruising to yet another W against the Flames. They let the concentration slip though, conceded four consecutive goals losing in overtime. The Kings won't make the same mistake again, and the Flames can not keep getting bailed out with late goals every game.
2. Home Woes - The Flames win against a lowly Edmonton side Saturday was their first home win on four attempts. They've dropped six of the last seven meetings at home ice with the L.A Kings.
3. X-Factor - The Kings are 10-for-23 on the power play over their last five games.
Selection: This is a play on the Los Angeles Kings (10*)
