The third meeting happened on Jan. 13 with Chandler Stephenson tallying the only goal for Vegas in a 3-1 loss.

Vegas and Calgary were trading partners ahead of the Trade Deadline as the Golden Knights acquired Noah Hanifin from the Flames in exchange for Daniil Miromanov, a 2026 first round pick and a conditional 2025 third round pick.

KEYS TO THE GAME
Continued Confidence: Vegas showed it's never out of a game when the team dug its way out of a two-goal hole on Tuesday against Seattle. The Golden Knights will look to channel the energy that drove the comeback against the Kraken to stay hot against the Flames.
Strong Offense: Head Coach Bruce Cassidy said he was pleased with the team's depth creating offense and credits that depth for the reason the team was able to stay in the game and ultimately win.
