#15/16 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* OVER 6 Goals - Calgary Flames at Vegas Golden Knights, Thursday at 9 PM ET - This is great set up for an over. The Flames were in Arizona last night where they won 6 to 3. They have goalie issue because Vladar was in goal last night and that means either he goes again in the 2nd game of a B2B or Markstrom gets the call here. Vladar was not overly sharp last night. The Coyotes scored only 3 goals but they actually had very few shots on goal in that game. Vladar has allowed 8 goals on just 38 shots in his last two starts. Markstrom has allowed 4 or more goals in 4 of last 6 games. So you can see why Vegas is expected to score well here. The Golden Knights are off a tough, tight 3-2 shootout loss at Chicago. That should bring a strong effort from a Vegas team that entered that game having won 5 straight games and scoring an average of 5 goals per game in those victories. As for the Golden Knights goalie situation, Hill got hurt in his last start and though it was not a major injury and he could possibly go tonight, he did allow 4 goals in that start and may not be 100 percent here. Thompson has been out since the All-Star game. The Knights had even called up Hutchinson from the AHL to back-up Brossoit Saturday. So, as you can see, both teams have unsettled situations right now at the goalie spot. Brossoit did allow only 2 goals in that start but the Blackhawks are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league. Now, whoever ends up in goal for this one for Vegas is facing a Flames team that has scored an average of 3.8 goals last dozen games. This one has the makings of a 5-4 battle and yet a 4-3 game also would put is in the winners circle with this one. Look for at least 7 in this one! Over is our play here.
