The Vegas Golden Knights have beat the odds and have ruined practically everyone’s predictions for this upcoming season. An expansion team is never supposed to be good in their inaugural season, yet here we are. The Calgary Flames have already gotten a taste of what it’s like to play them.
In late January, while the Flames were on a four-game losing streak, they were also on an 11-game point streak. They were up 2-1 late in the third period and seemed like they were going to get back in the win column again. But a costly turnover in their own zone led to a Vegas goal with just 1:46 left in the game.
