Calgary Flames Betting Analysis

The Calgary Flames have been underachieving all season, and their inconsistent play might be what thwarts them from punching their ticket to the postseason. They’ve dropped four of six (2-2-2), and in their most recent outing, blew a two-goal, third-period lead to Vegas to fall in overtime.

They’re middle of the road in goal scoring (15th), after ranking sixth last season, and are 22nd with the man advantage. They were third in goals against last campaign, and have been far worse this year, ranking 15th. They’ve surrendered at least three goals in five of their last six outings. It’ll also be their third game in four nights – they’ve dropped seven of their last eight in the final game of such a stretch.

Colorado Avalanche Betting Analysis

Following Colorado’s January 12th defeat against the lowly Blackhawks, which was their seventh loss in eight, they’ve caught fire. Since then, they’re 12-2-2, second in the NHL during that span.

For the season, Colorado is 17th in scoring and tenth in goals allowed. Captain Gabriel Landeskog has missed the entire season (knee) and reigning Norris Trophy-winning blueliner Cale Makar has been in concussion protocol twice recently.

The Avs netminders have been stingy, allowing the nine fewest goals per game on the campaign. During this fantastic run, they’ve scored 3.69 goals per outing, and allowed 2.31. This is the second game in as many nights for the Avs – for the season, they’re 6-2 in such battles, with wins in five straight.
