Kings vs Flames and 5 Huge Player Prop Picks for Tonight’s NHL Matchup

The Los Angeles Kings take on the Calgary Flames tonight in what we think will be one of the more intense matchups for tonight’s slate.

With both teams looking to solidify their standings early in the season, player prop bets are a fun way to engage with the game and potentially build up that bankroll.

Here are the best player prop picks for this evening’s Kings vs. Flames clash.

Adrian Kempe Over 0.5 Points

• Player Prop Odds: -175

Adrian Kempe has been a reliable playmaker for the Kings. That’s why we think he’s a strong pick for Over 0.5 Points. 

With 5 goals and quite a few assists this season, Kempe has demonstrated that he’s a key component in the Kings’ offensive structure. 

His chemistry with Anze Kopitar has consistently paid off as it regularly translates into scoring opportunities, and Calgary’s defense could be vulnerable to his skill set tonight.

Calgary has been shaky on the PK, with a 72.3% kill rate, which is where we see Kempe making this bet a win if he gets power-play minutes. 

The odds aren’t exactly fantastic, but Kempe’s consistency makes this a solid pick if you’re looking for a reliable point prop to anchor your bets for tonight.

Nazem Kadri Over 0.5 Points

• Player Prop Odds: -154

Nazem Kadri has been heating up, making him a great pick to go over 0.5 Points in tonight’s game. 

Kadri has been a top offensive player for Calgary. He comes in with recent momentum after helping the Flames claw back into the game against Buffalo. 

He’s known for his intensity when he’s on the ice and is very effective in generating scoring chances, both at even strength and on the power play.

Sure, Los Angeles has a decent defense, but Kadri’s gritty style will make a difference for the Flames, especially with the Flames needing a strong response after a tough stretch. 

This matchup is going to give Kadri the chance to make an impact on the scoresheet and on your bankroll.

Rasmus Andersson Over 2.5 Blocks

• Player Prop Odds: -105

Rasmus Andersson is a blocking machine every night he’s on the ice. This makes over 2.5 Blocks a smart pick with excellent value at -105. You might be able to find a bookmaker or two with plus odds on this bet too.

He averages 2+ blocks per game and has consistently stepped up to protect the crease. Against a Kings team that loves to pepper the net with chaotic shots, Andersson should be in the line of fire throughout the entire game.

The Kings rank among the league’s higher-volume shooting teams which is great for this bet. We expect them to bring their typical shot-heavy style and Andersson will have plenty of opportunities to record blocks. 

Calgary’s defensive scheme relies on players like him to clog up the shooting lanes, making the over on 2.5 Blocks a great bet.

Kevin Fiala Under 3.5 Shots on Goal

• Player Prop Odds: -175

Kevin Fiala is one of the Kings’ most dynamic scorers, but his shot volume hasn’t been astronomical lately. That’s why we’re taking the under on 3.5 Shots on Goal. 

Despite Fiala’s dominant offensive capabilities, he’s been averaging closer to 2-3 shots per game which is uncharacteristic of him, but we all have slumps. Calgary’s defense, while inconsistent, has been relatively successful at limiting high-volume shooting from opponents’ top scorers.

Taking this bet a step further, Fiala has also been known to pass off the puck rather than take it all on himself, especially when playing alongside players on his line.

This prop leans on Fiala’s tendencies as both a scorer and facilitator, which means he’ll have no problem staying under the 3.5 mark.

Jonathan Huberdeau Anytime Goalscorer

• Player Prop Odds: +200

If you’re looking for a higher-payout option and love anytime goals, Jonathan Huberdeau is your man and at +200 this bet offers a great upside. 

Huberdeau hasn’t had a breakout goal-scoring season yet, but he has a knack for being in the right place at the right time in crucial games like tonight’s.

With Calgary’s need to turn their season around, we’re looking for Huberdeau to take an aggressive approach tonight.

Huberdeau has also recorded an assist in each of his last 3 appearances as a home underdog against the Kings, so he’s comfortable in these matchups. Betting on him to score brings some decent value, especially with LA allowing close to 3 goals per game. 

With the Flames back at home and needing a bit of a spark, Huberdeau is a high-reward pick you’ll want on your bet slip.

These prop picks blend both some safer options and solid value plays, providing a well-rounded approach to betting on tonight’s game — which is what we’re always after.

Adrian Kempe and Nazem Kadri for points have consistent scoring potential, while Rasmus Andersson’s block prop could thrive against the Kings’ high shooting volume. For the more adventurous bettors, the Under on Kevin Fiala’s shot total and Huberdeau to score anytime provide some options to build that bankroll.

Whether you’re looking for steady returns or higher-reward picks, this game has plenty of player props to keep the action exciting.
