NHL Playoffs Odds: Flames vs. Stars Game 4 prediction, odds and pick

Calgary Flames are trailing 2-1 in their first-round series against the Dallas Stars. The Flames hope to win Game 4 before returning home for Game 5.

The Flames are a better team than the Stars. Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk both recorded 100+ points. The Flames have had little production from the offense in the first three games of the series. They have a good defensive team, but they need to play better if they want to win the game 4.

Dallas is 2-1 up in the NHL playoffs against the Flames. The Stars have out-hit the Calgary Flames 44-23 in each of the last two games. Dallas will look to continue their physical style of play on Monday night.

The offense for the San Jose Sharks has not found its form yet. Joe Pavelski had a two-goal game last time out and will look to continue that. Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz will also look for better production. Jake Oettinger has been playing well for Dallas in the playoffs. Dallas leads the series 3-1.

The Flames are trying to avoid a 3-1 deficit in the series. They are going to win in Dallas. The Flames will cover at -1.5. The odds are a bit too high for me to bet on the Flames.

The Flames are the favorite to win the game.
