Trends

Ottawa is 23-51 in their last 74 games played on no rest and 5-1 in their last 6 third games of a 3 in 4 situation. The under is 9-3 in Ottawa’s last 12 Sunday games. Calgary is 2-6 in their last 8 games and 0-5 in their last 5 home games. The under is 4-1 in Calgary’s last 5 games. The underdog is 6-2 in these two teams last 8 head to head meetings. 

Pick

Ottawa has had plenty of success over the last few weeks, but they will be on the second game of a back to back here. Calgary has struggled over the last two weeks, but they have won two of their last three games and will be at home for this game. I think we are getting very good value on Ottawa in this game against a Flames team that is not playing very well. I like Ottawa on the road here.
