The Vegas Golden Knights have some competition coming in hot in the Pacific. Who's currently the biggest threat to the defending Stanley Cup champs before the new year?

Losers of six of their last nine, the Flames have been... non-existent. With a mediocre power play percentage of 12.3, Calgary hasn't been exciting to watch offensively.

Overall, the Flames are the NHL equivalent of watching paint dry. When your leading scorer is Nazem Kadri (25 points), that's a sign of concern. Calgary should be of no significance to the Golden Knights or the Pacific Division this season.
