Flames vs. Blues Prediction and Odds (Calgary Will Get Back to Winning Ways)

The Calgary Flames, much like their Alberta rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, have stumbled in the new year after getting off to a hot start in the fall.

Now, they face the task of climbing back up the Pacific Division standings. They can take a step toward that goal tonight when they head to St. Louis to take on the Blues. This will be the second time in a week this week that the Flames will face the Blues. They handled them with ease on Monday, beating them by a final score of 7-1 in Calgary.

Let's take a look at the odds via WynnBET for tonight's rematch.

Flames vs. Blues Prediction and Pick

The Flames might only be 5-5 in their last 10 games but, but their advanced analytics are promising. During that stretch, they're third in the NHL in CORSI%, second in high danger scoring chances, and ninth in high danger scoring chances against.

Daniel Vlader will be in net for the Flames tonight, which is pause enough for me not to bet my own money on this game. He's allowed at least four goals in three straight starts, and spots a .910 save percentage on the season.

If you think Vlader will have a bounce back game tonight, then I'd certainly recommend you back them as underdogs. They're going to get back to their winning ways sooner rather than later.
