The Calgary Flames travel to Las Vegas to take on the Golden Knights on Sunday night.

The Flames have the highest goal differential in the NHL at 31 and lead the Pacific Division by three points. Calgary also leads the league in expected goals rate at over 56%.

Meanwhile, the Golden Knights have had an inconsistent start to the season. They're nine points back of the Flames in the division and have given up the most expected goals (2.8) per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 so far this season. Their defense has dragged them down, even amid a decently strong offensive season.

The Action Network's betting models indicate that there's heavy sharp action and big money on one side of the total for this matchup.

Flames vs. Golden Knights Sharp Action, Big Money Pick

The sharps and wise guys absolutely love the under on this one. You can lock down 5.5 at about even money at most major American sportsbooks.

A minority of bets (42%) have been made on the under, but the vast majority of money (93%) is on the game to score fewer than 5.5 goals. That means a small group of bettors are wagering big on the under.

PRO Report Pick: Under 5.5 goals (-104)
