“He’s a big part of our line, for sure. We know what we want to do out there,” forward David Perron said of Neal. “We do a lot of little plays, like possession plays, and it’s tough for Tuchy to come in and kind of get in that. Maybe he has a different mentality. He hasn’t really played that way this year — he’s more of a speed guy. I felt we got better throughout the game. We had some chances.”
Vegas had won its three previous games, all at home and will now look to get back in the win column at home.

Why Consider Betting on Calgary?
Why should you consider betting on the Flames in this Wednesday night matchup? Because Calgary is a little bit desperate, plus they’ve scored three goals or more in each of their last five wins while going 5-5 over their last 10. The Flames have lost two straight coming into this contest including a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to Boston on Monday. After defenseman TJ Brodie turned the puck over deep in the Flames end Boston’s Brad Marchand got free on a breakaway and ended it by slipping the puck through the pads of rookie goaltender David Rittich. “Tonight was on me,” the Calgary Brodie said. “Yes, I tried to pass to Johnny (Gaudreau). I could have passed it to (Sean Monahan) I could have shot it. It’s one of those things that looking back now, I definitely could have done something different.” The good news is that Calgary has also won four straight and nine of their last 12 on the road. The bad news is that Calgary has been awful on Wednesday nights, going a nearly winless 1-5 in their last six Wednesday games.Team Statistics

Why Consider Betting On Vegas?
Why consider betting on Vegas in this affair? Because the Knights have been absolutely phenomenal on their home-ice this season and will be very focused following their last contest. The Knights have gone 22-5-2 at home this season, but they’re coming off a sluggish 2-0 home loss against Anaheim on Monday despite out-shooting the Ducks 33-20. Vegas was without forwards Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and James Neal.
“He’s a big part of our line, for sure. We know what we want to do out there,” forward David Perron said of Neal. “We do a lot of little plays, like possession plays, and it’s tough for Tuchy to come in and kind of get in that. Maybe he has a different mentality. He hasn’t really played that way this year — he’s more of a speed guy. I felt we got better throughout the game. We had some chances.”
