Calgary Flames hockey is back, and while they’ve been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, they’re still fighting for something! They are Slackin’ for Macklin, and their most prominent opponents are tonight’s matchup, the San Jose Sharks.
Today’s expected goaltender matchup for our highlighted game:
The Calgary Flames’ Dustin Wolf (3-7-1) vs. The San Jose Sharks’ Mackenzie Blackwood (10-24-3).
Nazem Kadri point & Calgary Flames moneyline (+110)
Ever since Flames head coach Ryan Huska put Nazem Kadri and Andrei Kuzmenko together, the duo has been dynamite. They have points in four of five games together, with Kadri having six points over that five-game span.
Against the Sharks, Kadri is currently on a 10-game point streak, totalling 15 points over that streak. San Jose allows the most goals against (4.0) per game this season and the fourth most (3.9) over their last 10 games.
Calgary has struggled lately, but as -225 favourites, they have the advantage tonight. The Flames have won five of their last six head-to-head meetings against the Sharks, outscoring them 27-17 in those six games.
William Eklund point (-120)
Your $10.00 bet would return $18.33.
William Eklund has been the lone bright spot of this San Jose Sharks team this season. The 21-year-old is developing nicely, as he is tied for second on the team in points, which has much to do with his current streak.
The young Swede has points in seven of his last nine games, totalling 10 points. In his only career game against the Flames, he registered an assist. Calgary allows the most goals over their previous 10 games, averaging 4.1 per game.
Andrei Kuzmenko goal (+200)
Your $10.00 bet would return $30.00
Again, it’s weird seeing no shot on goal or point prop for Andrei Kuzmenko, who’s on a five-game point streak and has hit his shots line in five of his last seven — oh well, that just means we pivot to his goal.
Kuzmenko has four goals on his current five-game point streak, with two goals in the games against the St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks. The Flames draw the Sharks tonight, who just so happens to be the team that Kuzmenko has the most points (12) in his career against – seven of these 12 points were goals.
Last Game Recap
Connor McDavid Powerplay Point – WON – (+$9.52)
MacKenzie Weegar Point – LOSS – (-$10.00)
Well, the MacKenzie Weegar point train came to a halt as the Flames scored just two on Stuart Skinner. The Edmonton Oilers go 2-6 on the powerplay, with Connor McDavid picking up two assists to cash our point prop.
All-Time Record: 68-74 (-$90.12)
