GAME OF THE MONTH | NHL
(NHL) Calgary vs. Vegas,
Money Line: -120.00 Vegas (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: As a professional handicapper, I base my picks on many things. This particular one is based upon the "revenge" factor. Sometimes "revenge" can be overused by handicappers as a legitimate angle, but after losing 7-2 to the Flames in Calgary last week, I think the Knights come in focused on the task at hand here. LV did go into the Thanksgiving break off a 3-2 win over Arizona.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Knights are a perfect 3-0 in their last three in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent in which it gave up five or more goals in. The achilles heel of the Flames has been their play on the road and I look for that trend to carry over here. Lay the reasonable price.
