Calgary Flames moneyline & over 5.5 (+125)
The Flames have historically struggled against the Blackhawks, losing four straight, but tonight, this trend stops. Calgary dropped their lost last game to Columbus, who rank in the bottom five of the league’s standings. Calgary should look to get right after an embarrassing loss last game against the league’s bottom team in the standings, the Chicago Blackhawks.
There’s no shy of goals when these teams meet, going over the 5.5-game total in eight straight head-to-head match-ups. The Flames have found their scoring touch despite this losing streak, going over this total in three of their last four games. The Blackhawks have only gone over in two of their last four.
